I was downtown last Thursday and ended up with an hour to kill before my train home, so I went down the station’s back stairs and around the corner to Jay’s Bar. It was almost six o’clock, so the crowd was a mix of corporate suits buying expensive vodka, tradesmen enjoying decent beer, and jobless neighborhood guys drinking cheap beer. I ordered something inoffensive and watched to see if any of my old Cypherpunk pals would show up. Continue reading “The Fascist’s Guide to Business Success”
Thomas Jefferson: “We Failed”
Thomas Jefferson – one of my long-time heroes – was convinced that he and his friends blew the chance they had to establish freedom in America. I know that a hundred thousand self-praising textbooks, speeches, pundits and songs claim that Jefferson and the rest established freedom, but that’s not what Jefferson thought, and it’s not what he said. Continue reading “Thomas Jefferson: “We Failed””
The 21st Century Addictions
In any negotiation, the one with power is the one who can walk away. If you can’t walk, you have no power and you won’t get what you want.
I bring this up because a couple of billion people have entered relationships in which they have no power at all, and who are being intentionally used. More than that, this relationship carries a chemical component, making it an addiction. Continue reading “The 21st Century Addictions”
Podcast: Post-Primate Society, Part 7
This series of seven podcasts include the text (but not the notes) of my book, Post-Primate Society: A New Look At The Human Story. I think it’s a very important book, but I also think it will take some time to be accepted. And so I posted it to Kindle and am posting it here as quickly as I could. A proper audio book will follow, and I hope a paper book will follow, but all in good time.
The material in this book is simply a lot to ingest. I’m convinced I have described it well, and it certainly makes attractive arguments, but I also expect it to be difficult to retain: It’s simply too foreign.
And so, please go through it as well as you can, and allow the concepts to remain in the back of your mind.
Thanks.

The Jesus Challenge
There has been no more important teacher in human history than Jesus of Nazareth. Not only was Western civilization (the civilization that eliminated slavery, spawned science and unleashed production) based upon his teachings, but more than two billion people still look to him as the most crucial man ever to have lived.
And yet, this must be said… Continue reading “The Jesus Challenge”

The Voice of The Workers Is Finally Heard
I make a practice of not posting any link tied to Google, but this time I’ll make an exception. This is the voice of the working class – productive people who‘ve been treated like serfs by the “rich men north of Richmond.” These people are not stupid, and this musician is speaking in their voice: the voice of many millions, world-wide.
Remember, these are the people who build, repair and deliver everything. All of us, rich and poor alike, need them to reclaim their voice.
