Hi. I am Tylea, Holstee\u2019s resident skeptic. I have a hard time following trends even if they seem like a good idea. I do not read books about the power of [fill in the blank], I will not dump a bucket of ice over my head or rush to the next food craze just because the buyer at my health food mega-store ate something \u201cexotic\u201d on vacation. Bamboo fabric is just rayon, that bag you bought to help feed starving Africans was made in a sweatshop (and who is feeding those workers?). Yoga is cool but downward dog always makes me feel like I\u2019m going to puke, and isn\u2019t it actually someone\u2019s religion?<\/p>\n
On paper I am your standard-issue grump, but that doesn\u2019t quite explain it. I care very much about being a better person and making the world a better place, I am just not easily persuaded by other humans\u2019 ideas on how to do that.<\/p>\n
Let me give you an example. Like many other kids born in the early ’80s, I grew up watching the Ghostbusters movies. In the final scene of the first flick, Gozer (he\u2019s the bad guy, you Millennials!) tells the ‘busters that whatever they think of next will be what destroys them. The guys scramble to clear their minds and then this happens:<\/p>\n
