My memory aid:
“At times the police have to gather in force to enforce the laws.”
Or simply, “You gather in force to enforce.”
- “Inforce” is not a word.
- “Enforce” means to compel compliance.
- “In Force” means large numbers or a large impact.

Enforce vs. In Force, but not Inforce

Natural Philosopher
Mike’s throwback title simply means he writes about philosophy, science, critical thinking, and history with a focus on exploring boundaries and intersections. While his focus is on our rational ideas about empirical observations, he does enjoy dabbling in the irrational. His exploration of human thought led him to develop his Idea of Ideas which allows him to understand what is empirically true, rationally true, and irrationally false.

Emotional Resilience
TAKE-AWAY: Emotional resilience is about developing the ability to withstand and adapt to life’s challenges, setbacks, and disappointments. According to Stoic thought, our emotional reactions stem primarily from our beliefs, judgments, and thoughts about events, rather than the events themselves. By managing your emotions more effectively, you can minimize the negative impact of adversity.
