The title of this post, live dangerously and you live right, comes from the great author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and he was ever so correct. The life of meek obedience is a sin against the self. It is a surrender of mind and passion. It’s a half life at best. Continue reading “Live Dangerously And You Live Right”

Single Issues Will Now Be Available
Starting Tuesday, April 16th, you’ll be able to buy single issues of our Free-Man’s Perspective and Parallel Society subscription newsletters.
Over time our subscription model evolved into a fairly large all-or-nothing deal: subscribe and get 150+ issues; don’t subscribe and get none of them. It is now time for a new model. So, please take a look through the issues that are now available: it’s almost certain that several will interest you.
Our 12-issue subscriptions are still the best deal (and come with bonuses), but from here on, all our issues are for sale. Again, please look through the lists: a lot of important things are covered and you won’t find the same kind of coverage anywhere else.
We’re not expecting any bugs in the new build, but if you run into one, please let us know.
Thank you for your interest and support.

Do You Have A Plan For Improving Your Spouse?
All of us with husbands and wives are beautifully positioned to make them better human beings. Unfortunately, many of us are squandering the opportunity.
Today I’d like to help fix that. Continue reading “Do You Have A Plan For Improving Your Spouse?”
The Wages of Perpetual Fear
(Originally published August 31, 2020.)
I’ve gone on for a long time about fear making humans stupid, and even about it being a weapon and a brain poison. But I’ve also wondered at times whether people would hit fear-fatigue… that point where people have simply had enough and walk out from under it. Continue reading “The Wages of Perpetual Fear”
Why Idealism Leads to Death
(Originally published August 24, 2020.)
With violent idealists roaming streets, burning things, enjoying the fact that they can scare people and so on, I think a brief explanation of how idealism leads to death (and frequently to mass death) is in order. Continue reading “Why Idealism Leads to Death”
The New Age of Intelligence
In 2014, Jonathan Logan and I started on this book, ultimately releasing it in 2016. Being involved in online privacy on a daily basis at cryptohippie.com, we saw where things were headed and decided that we had to warn people. Still, I had hopes that the progress of evil would be somehow derailed, at least partially. Sadly, that has not happened, and things are turning in very bad directions.
And so we’ve decided to make this book available to everyone for free. The threat is both serious and imminent. Furthermore, ignoring it empowers it. We want to spread this information as far and as fast as possible. People need to know.
Please read it and share it. (PDF)
Podcast: On Shame
“Shame,” wrote psychologist Silvan Tomkins, “strikes deepest into the heart of man… it is felt as a sickness of the soul which leaves man naked, defeated, alienated, and lacking in dignity.”
Shame is the great barrier that keeps people from acting as individuals and from expanding beyond a minimum-energy state. The expectation of shame is paralyzing to the vast majority of humans at some points of their life, and to some more frequently than others. Many people have spent their lives seeking shame-avoidance positions.
All of this is a horrific waste, and in this podcast, we take it on.
The Barbarians Have Taken The Institutions
(Originally published July 22, 2020.)
Let’s be honest about something: We in the West have been overrun by a tidal wave of racial hatred, and it erupted from institutions “of higher learning.” Whatever exceptions may exist, this central fact is clear. We are free to close our eyes, of course, but when we choose to see, this is what stands in front of us. Continue reading “The Barbarians Have Taken The Institutions”
Bitcoin’s One Billionth Transaction
As I write this, Bitcoin has just passed 985 million transactions. A quick, “back of the envelope” calculation says that it will process its one billionth transaction in six or seven weeks… somewhere around May 20th. I think this is a milestone we should note. Continue reading “Bitcoin’s One Billionth Transaction”
To Be Young and Headed to the Stars
I would pay dearly for young people to feel what it was like to be a scientifically minded child in the 1960s. It was a special and beautiful moment. Each week there was a new step toward the stars. And this was not science fiction, this was real. There was an exhilaration to it that I don’t think can be found in any other venture. The door to infinite space was creaking open for us.
