Microdosing: Coping with or Curing Depression?

Marijuana,

Writing in Vox news, Luke Winkie describes a new and growing trend for health-conscious Americans: “microdosing.” It consists of introducing small amounts of marijuana, magic mushrooms, ketamine, or other formerly illicit substances into a daily routine. The goal is to stay on top of mental health issues.   

“What the government once considered contraband is being claimed by wellness culture, one tiny dose at a time,” Winkie writes; “After all, the chaos of the last few years has left so many Americans with a singular priority: to be calmer and happier, by any means possible.”  

While the health benefits of microdosing are inconclusive at best , what is becoming clear is how we’ve confused coping with curing. That should be a warning sign. A world that treats every problem as a medical one misses the point. A population that increasingly needs dubious chemicals just to feel “okay” is one that’s not OK. 

One early adopter put it this way: “I felt a disconnect from my logical, ever-critical brain to my soul.”  That feeling is real, even God-given. The answer she needs is one the Church is tasked with providing.

Public Opinion Trends Towards Nuclear Family

Family,
famil

According to Pew Research, a growing number of Americans are realizing the importance of the nuclear family.   

Just three years ago, 40% of Americans agreed with the statement “single women raising children on their own is bad for society.” That number has now jumped to 47%. The same is true of cohabitation, which nearly a quarter of U.S. adults say is “generally bad for society.” That’s up 5% from three years ago.  

It’s an encouraging swing for public opinion, especially with both trends still on the rise. Kids do best with both a mom and a dad in the picture. They do better still when mom and dad stay married to each other.  

Of course, there are a plenty of heroic single parents raising kids on their own, who will do everything they can to help their kids succeed. Data isn’t destiny for all individuals, but it is destiny for a society. The loss of marriage is unsustainable. As the world leader in single-parent households, Americans will either have to reckon with that basic truth, or the next generations will continue to pay the price.

Why is Adidas cheerfully celebrating the destruction of women’s sports?

Transgender,

The following post is from OneMillionMoms.com.

In its latest US-based television commercial, Adidas features Brazilian trans volleyball player and activist Tiffany Abreu as he competes on a woman’s team and dominates the game with his vastly stronger physical male body.

As part of Adidas’ “I’mPossible” campaign, which discredits fair play and helps eliminate a true women’s sports division, the ad claims, “It’s impossible to take hold of the world’s spotlight overnight” and “compete as a trans woman.” Adidas is doing its part to make it happen…and they are trying to convince you to accept it.

Ironically, Adidas has a history of proclaiming its support for women’s rights and women’s athletics. Now it is pushing a totally opposite agenda that advocates men on women’s teams. Adidas wants it both ways, but it’s logically impossible.

Under Adidas’ “woke” agenda, it will champion men like college swimmer Will Thomas, a biological male who is singlehandedly rewriting long-standing NCAA women’s swimming records set by actual women.

On Adidas’ YouTube channel, the ad has had more than 27 million views, but only 913 “likes.” On the contrary, almost every one of the 2,097 comments are critical of Adidas’ decision to support men competing in women’s sports.

For example, YouTube viewer Gordon B. commented, “Why is Adidas cheerfully celebrating the destruction of women’s sport?” Another viewer posted, “Misogyny is not a good look. Males do not belong in women’s sport. Women fought really, really hard to have the opportunity to compete. Never going to buy adidas ever again. I’m disgusted with your company.”

Adidas has chosen to ignore logic, science and common sense when it comes to the physical differences between male and female athletes.
