This channel will focus on Mathematical, Logical, and Philosophical topics, especially paradoxes and conundrums that I think will engage a large segment of the people who have an above average interest in such things. I will occasionally stray into other areas that have logical or mathematical roots or for which I believe I can share an important and interesting insight. The views and solutions presented are uniquely my own, based upon my experiences and thoughts and analysis concerning a topic. Because most ideas are wrong as I have been reminded, you will probably find weaknesses in the ideas presented on this channel. However, that may be the price we pay for focusing on our own thoughts about a topic. If you are looking for the high probability presentation or opinion, you are not likely to find it here. That may mean that I am wrong more than right. You be the judge. I am hoping that instead of being right, I am presenting an interesting and useful perspective.

Walking Conundrum

Psychology teaches we aren’t able to reason & find truth unless we are able to get rid of biases & look at things from a neutral perspective. History teaches the best answers are found not in the extremes, but usually somewhere toward the center. My goal is to help people look at things objectively, how to look for facts & not only quickly act on emotions. To understand that we have tendencies to act on biases & that others will try to push their biases on us; to become more aware of that & look at things non-partisan. To challenge common mindsets & beliefs that may be flawed, & encourage people to think & form their own ideas critically. The name “walking conundrum” comes from a nickname I got years ago because of many times not fitting into the box of what was expected of me. We’re all individuals & that should be celebrated. Let’s not box people in. Let’s encourage people to learn, think independently, & have discussions. It’s in those discussions where we usually find the answers we’re looking for. https://linktr.ee/ShortStuffTiff
