Some prey evolve such strong defense mechanisms that they become predators. Learning to use their temptingly inviting, innocuous presentation to their advantage, they lure their prey all the way in under the mistaken belief that they, the prey, are the predators. These entities become slyly lethal, not revealing their danger until it’s too late, the…

Some people become very good at playing the game; at learning the rules and using them to their advantage. Some even work to rewrite the rules to further their advantage. The problem is it’s a game; a game in which the winners are made at the expense of the losers, and where participation requires sacrificing…

“The world lives by trickery. If you want to succeed you can’t be too good.” The Tree of Life  This is the flaw in capitalist controlled society: it encourages greed, immorality, deception and the creation of winners through losers. There is little common cause and identification. It is all individualization, divide and cutthroat competition. True…

Perhaps it is obvious, but it is my contention that progressivism is preeminently principle based, that the foremost principle is that what is best for life as a whole is always the correct choice and that, therefore, no true progressive can ever be loyal to any particular person or group of people over this principle…

Or is that just what they want you to think? How do inspectors solve crimes? Motive, means and opportunity.

And…

I have imagined the stances people take on the question of God as being like a parable of a fisherman that ventures with his net upon a boundless sea seeking to catch a small, slippery fish that no one has ever proven to exist, much less proven to have caught. Atheists say they’re certain the…

You do something well enough, with sufficient conviction, reason, passion and inspiration, it shall make an indelible mark, and last forever. That is the definition of classic, of standing the tests of time to become immortal. This is the power of writing, of poetry, philosophy and works of allegiance between strong mind and stout, guiding…

‘Conventional Wisdom’ is very near to being an oxymoron; an inherent contradiction. For what prevails as common wisdom is made more by ignorance, laziness, fear, peer pressure and the traditional influences of the greedy and powerful promoted to control the majority against the best interests of that majority than it is made by the requisites…

I am conditioning myself in a manner that has already relieved much of my suffering. It is a Buddhist practice; a disavowing of the clinging ego that pains through its false, imposed needs which we cling to and, as they cannot be held tightly and controlled, must thereby pain us when they slip from our…
