The Two Deuces or Why Winning Isn’t Everything

Alan Weiss"s The Uncomfortable Truth® ·

2022/10/27

We live in a competitive world, a Darwinian, capitalist world, but I contend that winning can be dysfunctional when pursued merely for the sake of the win. Sometimes the closest theater seats are far from the best; the newest technology rapidly purchased is full of glitches; the tough restaurant seats are obtained amidst a loud and overwhelming crowd.

Does western liberalism stand a chance of continuing, or have personal grievances and greed turned us away from a melting pot or a mosaic and into hundreds of millions of separate fortresses? We’ve moved from a post-World War II period of working hard and advancing, saving some money, buying a house, and retiring at 65 to live about three more years, to a society where people change jobs and houses as

Errors And Omissions

Alan Weiss"s The Uncomfortable Truth® ·

2022/09/29

Mistakes are unavoidable, whether from habit, being ill-advised, or changes in our understanding. They are inevitable and can’t be completely avoided. But we can learn from them. Pluto is a planet. No, it isn’t. Red meat is bad for you. No, it isn’t. Smoking low tar cigarettes is not as bad a health risk. Yes, it is. “New Math” improves kids’ learning. No, not even close. We need to learn to apologize, atone, show remorse, fix what we can, and move on. We can’t dwell on errors or we’d never be

Greed: Wherein We Examine Why There Is So Much of It

Alan Weiss"s The Uncomfortable Truth® ·

2022/08/31

In this episode, Alan Weiss reveals The Uncomfortable Truth behind Greed. What is it and why do we have so much of it? Greed is a longing to have things for the sake of having them. Not because you really need them, but because you want to get ahead of others. Are we a people of high standards who occasionally lapse, or are we all sinners and shouldn’t be so surprised about selfishness? In the animal kingdom, identical animals of the same species compete for the same food source. The one that is
