I’ll be posting a series of my notes so you can get an idea of what I’m studying in Praxis. Module 4, which is month four of Praxis focuses on consuming content and critical thinking, rather than creating something every day. Continue reading Week 1 Notes: Why Philosophy Matters to Everyday People

Module 4, Week 1: Why Philosophy Matters
In this video, I’ll run down the philosophical concepts I learned this week and how it can be applied. Philosophy is more useful than you think.
New Month of Praxis, Philosophy and Critical Thinking
It’s a new month which means a new Praxis challenge! Throughout this month I’ll be consuming more information instead of shipping content every day.
This month’s challenge I’m learning about critical thinking and philosophy and why it matters to successful entrepreneurs.
Critical thinking is essential for problem-solving, which drives entrepreneurs to think outside the box. This is where philosophy steps in especially when morality and customer care is concerned.
At the end of this month, my goals are to become even more logical, debate effectively, and ask better questions.
Additionally, I’ll continue to track my progress in Praxis by posting all my notes for this philosophy and critical thinking module.
A Review of My 30 Day Blogging Challenge
Yesterday I concluded my 30-day blogging challenge for Praxis and I couldn’t believe how much my writing improved. A year ago I did the same blogging challenge but I didn’t have any guidance from Dan Sanchez, FEE’s editor-in-chief or my Praxis classmates. You can read my old blog here and see the difference.

Here’s a Novel Idea: Train Your Employees Properly
If you’re a manager or own a business, put in the effort to train your employees properly. Why is it that Americans have a lackadaisical attitude towards training, compared to the efficiency of the Germans or the mindfulness of the Japanese?
Cultural differences play a huge part. However, that doesn’t mean we should accept lower standards. Continue reading Here’s a Novel Idea: Train Your Employees Properly
Communism Now Most Popular Diet Among Millennials
According to a recent poll, communism is now the most popular diet among millennials and they can’t stop raving about the wonders of this latest diet trend.
Growing tired of the endless choices at the grocery store and meal prepping, millennials turn to communism and praise how “you’ll gradually depend less on food and focus on working hard for the people.”
“Communism is the easiest diet out there,” said Michael Faber, 22. “You don’t need to exercise or count calories and all you have to do is drink lots of water and eat once a day. Eventually, you’ll get used to the hunger pains and reduce your meal intake to once a week.”
“It’s simple,” said Katie Brown, 25, “just wait in long lines until you’re thinking about food but don’t actually eat anything. It helped me lose over a hundred pounds in two weeks!”
“This is the only diet that can keep the pounds off and I’ve tried keto, the South Beach Diet, and Weight Watchers but nothing was permanently effective like communism,” she added, clutching her stomach.
When asked about the downsides of the communism diet and the horrible results of starvation from others who tried it, she just shrugged and said, “Real communism has never been tried but when done right it works.”
How to Solve Valencia College’s Parking Shortage
I returned to college for a day to sit in on a lecture from my economics professor, Jack Chambless. It felt a bit strange to be back on campus but I was greeted warmly by my professor. Today’s lecture was about government interference in the free market and supply and demand, but I’ll just focus on supply and demand.
Valencia College experiences a shortage of available parking spots and right now it costs nothing to park. Professor Chambless proposed a plan that would help solve this problem. Continue reading How to Solve Valencia College’s Parking Shortage
I Wrote Satire for the First Time
I’ve never written satire before but after reading a bunch of the Babylon Bee clickbait I felt inspired to write one. Continue reading I Wrote Satire for the First Time
The Babylon Bee Copywriting: How to Write Clickbait
The Babylon Bee is the funniest satire site. They’ve mastered the art of clickbait headlines and seamlessly tying together politics, current events, and Christianity.
“New Libertarian Convert Asks Ron Paul Into His Heart”
This headline is one of my favorites. It’s hilarious, relevant, and clever. Libertarians revere Ron Paul so much that to outsiders it looks as if we’re worshipping him. Most people who use social media, only feel compelled to read an article if the headline grabs their attention. First impressions are everything for clickbait.
