Beating The Odds And Doctor Death
Hello Death To think that I was happy, content, and comfortable just a few short years ago, makes me long for the past. When everything changed, it all spiraled pretty fast. And yet, out of all the constant ickyness, somehow the need to survive and fight back hasn't died off in me.

Iran’s Long War Strategy and America’s Strategic Dilemma
In my assessment, the trajectory of the current confrontation between Iran, the United States, and Israel increasingly resembles a prolonged war of attrition rather than a short, decisive campaign. Unlike rapid, technology-dominated conflicts of the late twentieth century, this confrontation appears structured around endurance, asymmetric leverage, and economic pressure. Iran, in particular, seems to have prepared for such a scenario for nearly two decades—militarily, strategically, and ideologically.

Close Friendships
I met Lou in the spring of 2019. I was recently widowed, trying to find my place in the world without my wife of 39 years. I met him on the tennis court. He was the convener of a mixed doubles drop-in session. I was picking up activities I had not done since I was a teenager. The funeral director had warned me that I needed a social network, that otherwise I would just hang around the house and fade away. We had just moved to a new city four months previous, so this was a concern for me. I had written "Tennis? Bridge?" on a note pad as ideas for meeting people.

What Fathers Uniquely Provide
The Error of Treating Parenting Roles as Functionally Identical Modern parenting theory often begins with the assumption that mothers and fathers are largely interchangeable, differing only in style or temperament. From this view, any deficits in one parent can be compensated for by the other through increased emotional effort, sensitivity, or presence. Parenting becomes a question of intention and quantity rather than function and role. This assumption is appealing because it aligns with cultural preferences for symmetry and fairness, but it collapses under closer examination of developmental outcomes.

The Measure of Strength
Rashid had always believed that being a man meant showing no weakness. Growing up, his father had drilled the idea into him through harsh words and strict discipline: a man must endure, a man must provide, a man must protect. Rashid followed the code diligently, hiding doubts and fears, stuffing emotions into corners of his mind where no one could see. Yet by the time he turned twenty-eight, he realized that the weight of unspoken burdens had grown heavier than any physical challenge he had faced.

The Standard of a Man
Ever since the Industrial Era ended, men have struggled to find genuine masculine mentors. Spoiled by comfortable office positions, our hands have grown tender and our determination has weakened. We've transformed into the classic corporate 'yes men' – spineless individuals who sneak around with daggers ready, seeking victims to betray in our climb up the ladder of monetary achievement. We might wonder, "Perhaps women will find me attractive now that I own this stylish vehicle and fancy apartment."
