You’re in a bad situation; you’re depressed, frightened, and need a solution. I’ll do my best to give you one. But first, please believe me that I know what it’s like to be in desperate circumstances.
I’m offering you advice, earned the hard way. What you do with it will be your choice, but unlike politicians, I’m not trying to get anything from you and my plan actually works. Continue reading “To the College Student Drowning in Debt and the Single Mother Who Can’t Afford Insurance”
The other day a friend contacted me, looking for an article that explained why centralization is bad. At first I was sure there had to be many, but I came up dry. Hence today’s post. Continue reading “Six Reasons Centralization Is Bad”
You work long, hard days, but you never have enough to be secure. Your husband or wife probably works too, and yet you still never get ahead. Now think about this: Your great-grandparents worked hard, and they did get ahead. You work just as hard, but you don’t make the same progress.
Was great-grandpa really that much better than you? Not likely. So, how was it that he could get ahead on one income, but you can’t? Continue reading “You’ve Been Robbed”
For clarity, let’s define “evil” as “the willful abuse of other humans.”
By this definition, any person or persons who purposely manipulate other humans to their own ends – anything from tricking them into a bad business deal to extorting money from them to murdering them – are engaging in evil. Continue reading “Evil Is Weak”
A number of people seem to freak out when I write a piece like this, but it’s a huge mistake to define ourselves by what we’re against, and darkness is not all that exists in the world. Continue reading “We Are Great”
Most people, sad to say, are too rushed, frightened, and confused to think about what they really want out of life. They are hustled through school, forced into long-term decisions before they’re ready to handle them, then held to those decisions. Continue reading “Hustled Through Life”
My dream of what could be.
In 2025, after realizing that humanity had been at war for some 6,000 years with seldom a break of even a single year – and very often in several places at once – a simple thought appeared in at least a hundred young minds scattered across our planet: Continue reading “The 18-Year-Olds’ League”
There is a huge difference between forced associations and free associations. In fact, if you pay attention to the issue, you’ll find that the very act of forcing people together carries a poison in itself. We see the fruit of that poison in ethnic hatred, the formation of street gangs and in bullying. Whenever it is that forced associations are examined scientifically, they will be condemned as anti-human. Continue reading “A Lesson from Devon Avenue”
About half the time it is used, the word “law” is fairly close to a mind trick, and there is nothing noble, righteous, or even ‘conservative’ in that.
More or less all of us were pushed into the trick, which complicates things because people don’t like to admit anything that smells like a mistake. Continue reading ““Law” As A Mind Trick”
I’ve been working on collections of quotes lately, and I have one more that I’d like to present… this one on the thoughts of rulers. For a number of years I’ve been telling people that the incentives faced by productive people and the incentives facing rulers (of whatever stripe) are very, very different. This list, I believe, will make that point.
