The Black Sheep

Feminist Ideology Wrecked My Marriage. And It’s Wrecking Women’s Politics.

Eight years ago, I walked my daughter, then seven, down to PS 34 in Lower Manhattan to cast my vote for Hillary Clinton for president. The air was thick with impending history. Already a little activist, my daughter wore white in a nod to the suffragettes. We took selfies together. I was overjoyed to show her that I was voting for the first female president. I imagined her telling this story to her granddaughters decades from now. Her bedroom was decorated with “Girl Power” posters, and books titled…

The male mind cannot comprehend the allure of Tony Soprano

It was a dry spring day, April, and we were a few blocks from Wall Street. My female colleagues and I secured our cocktails and canapés at Fraunces Tavern, the oldest bar in New York. We were a relatively diverse group, ranging in age from twenty-three to late forties, from all over the place: England, California, New Jersey. Gathered around a high wood…

Being as the Antidote to Depression

I catch myself surprised by the painting’s wild concept. A woman celebrating within a nebula. Her body language is alive. She kicks up her foot and throws out her arms, ending with jazz hands. Her transparent shadowed self merges with the swirling cosmos. It’s a visual manifestation of an introspective celebration…

Köhler and Milstein's Monoclonal Antibody Monstrosity (1975)

When I began my journey into the world of “antibodies,” I was rather shocked by the complete lack of direct scientific evidence that these entities actually existed and functioned as described. Like most, I assumed that what we were told about “antibodies” and the “immune” system was built upon solid scientific evidence. However, what I found was the exact opposite. Like the equally fictional “viruses,” the effects observed from unnatural processes created in a lab were construed as evidence for the existence of unseen entities that were somehow involved as the cause. In the case of the “antibody,” this began with the mixture and manipulation of blood from different species where the effects created were used as indirect evidence of existence. There was no purification (free on contaminants, host materials, pollutants, etc.) and isolation (separation from everything else) of these so-called “antibodies” at any point in time in order to study and experiment with. These lab-created effects were used by researchers to dream up the concept of an imaginary causal entity regarding how it looked, formed, and functioned. This whole process was instigated by the work of Robert Koch disciples Emil Von Behring and Paul Ehrlich. While Von Behring presented the lab-created effect, it was Ehrlich who presented the presumed cause when he laid out his side-chain theory of “antibody” production and his conceptual drawings of what French biologist Felix Le Dantec termed the “imaginary invalid” in the early 1900s…

I'm looking forward to reading your newsletter. In my years as a psychotherapist, I've seen many clients experience precognitive or postmortem dreams and energy shifts. I'm currently working with a woman who is enrolled in a clairvoyant program, and she's been describing her experiences to me in great detail. It is amazing the things she has been able to see in others lives and she has healed herself much faster than with me. We have worked for 20 years. Thanks for subscribing to Mind Matters
