I write a lot of op-eds. To me, the theory of the op-ed isn’t to simply push an opinion. It’s to explore situations, and then have an opinion which is explained. The trouble with writing about humanity is the need to clarify the issues. I try to find answers.
I do NOT like writing about idiotic people and events. It’s news, not a personal preference. Every so often there’s a scientific breakthrough, good news, and even interesting stuff worth writing about. The real horror is the constant useless criminal political stuff blocking anything and everything.

To me, so much of this is way too obvious, like climate change. “Do you believe in thermodynamics, yes or no?” is one of the lines in the article. It’s that obvious. Excuse me if I don’t find it too exciting to have to use a line like that.
