No Change in Your Pocket–OR in Washington

Posted on July 20, 2008 by D3 Support

Two things they won’t tell you about government spending to “stimulate” the economy: 1) It adds no wealth to the economy. When there’s real economic growth, wealth is created by business, meaning: by the private sector. The private sector consists … Continue reading →

There Ought to be a Law!

Posted on July 19, 2008 by D3 Support

“Al Gore makes bold proposal,” brag the headlines. What’s so bold about his proposal? Essentially, he’s saying: “Oil is too expensive. It’s also–I claim–dangerous. Therefore, we should find a better source of fuel. And to make sure it happens, we’re … Continue reading →

The Conditions of Love

Posted on July 18, 2008 by D3 Support

I think what people really yearn for is not so much “unconditional love” — since we all love for reasons — as “uncomplicated love.” The purest form of love is NOT love without a self, love without reasons, or love … Continue reading →

Private Profit, Socialized Risk

Posted on July 15, 2008 by D3 Support

I love how the Wall Street Journal said it in an editorial the other day. I’ll paraphrase here, from memory: “Dishonest socialism is when profit is private — and risk is socialized.” They were referring to the federalized mortgage lenders … Continue reading →

Think Your Way to Reality

Posted on July 13, 2008 by D3 Support

How you think about something does not change reality. But it does change the way you interact with, and act in, reality. This will often lead to real-life consequences. For example, you hear about “the self-fulfilling prophecy.” This is not … Continue reading →

A Nation of Whiners?

Posted on July 12, 2008 by D3 Support

Are Americans becoming a bunch of “whiners,” as one of John McCain’s top advisers suggested–an advisor whom McCain himself promptly denounced for saying it? There’s no question that most of our media engages in whining. They paint a picture of … Continue reading →

Who Holds the Mortgage on Your Life?

Posted on July 10, 2008 by D3 Support

Q: Dr. Hurd, what’s so bad about the welfare state? A compassionate society takes care of its own. Conservatives and liberals agree on this point, morally speaking. When I see a homeless person, I hardly think of such a terrible … Continue reading →

Be Careful What You Reward

Posted on July 9, 2008 by D3 Support

Don’t reward the wrong behavior–and don’t reward the wrong attitudes, either. To “reward” means to respond to something wrong or unhealthy by saying or doing something positive for the person who’s wrong. Don’t do it. Try to pay attention to … Continue reading →

A Taste for Living

Posted on July 8, 2008 by D3 Support

Self-discipline, self-esteem, and mental health all require a basic love of life. You either love life, or you don’t. If you do, you will take life seriously–and you will exhibit characteristics of self-discipline and good mental habits. If you don’t … Continue reading →

Is The Brain All There Is?

Posted on July 7, 2008 by D3 Support

It used to be that parental influences were thought to be all determining in an individual’s personality. Freud, and his successors, focused on such factors as the mother-child relationship and alleged infantile sexuality as the determining factor in human nature. … Continue reading →

Managing Temporary Conflict

Posted on July 6, 2008 by D3 Support

If someone important to you—a spouse, for example—becomes defensive or hostile, then she’s probably starting to lose touch with the facts. You will do your relationship, the person with whom you’re in temporary conflict, and even yourself no service by … Continue reading →
