Philosophy Phridays – Sakya Pandita
Philosophy Phridays is a series where each Friday, I go to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, click on “random entry,” and then write about whatever comes up. This week’s random entry is Sakya Pandita. I should say right at the beginning that I’m way outside my comfort zone this week. My favorite philosophy tends to be […]
Boomers and Millennials
For as long as there have been people, old people have said, “Kids today. . .” and young people have said, “Old people just don’t get it. . .” There have been jokes and stories and songs written about the phenomenon.
