I’ve spent my career on telling the truth about the causes of suicide. The reality of it is that there are fewer two-parent homes and church attendees. These are not the only causes, but they are the causes with the biggest effect sizes. I can’t get much of it published in high impact journals. That’s too bad, but I won’t change the facts to fit the narrative.

Sometimes, you just have to tell the truth to a smaller group. That way, looking at yourself in the mirror remains possible. I can’t do my kind of work in academia, so I don’t. It’s called morality.

There is a childhood educator specialist on here (Peter gray) who would like to talk to you -- he’s just posted an open question in Re: to the shocking rise of suicide in young people over the past 60 years. I hope you guys can link up.

Where do you publish your info about "fewer two-parent homes and church attendees" impact on suicides? I believe it, but do you have research on these topics that is not moralistic in nature?

Truth is only wanted when it does not hurt the flow of $$ , or hurt the "research" of those higher up the food chain. It is almost as bad as religion ruling over science , we are going backwards

I have said for years that I believe the breakdown of the family unit has contributed to so many issues our society is facing now. Good to know my hunch may be right. I would love to see your work published on The Free Press, how about it Bari?

Amen and Thank you! How do we know if he is telling TFP the truth when he is willing to mold his research to fit the publication?
