President Obama said we’re going to restore science to its rightful place and transform our schools and universities to meet the demands of a new age. Scientists have been hard at work on that for 40 years. It doesn’t mean longer school days and more homework; it means a whole new approach to science and education. Find out how to get that education yourself with high school level books that are available at mainstream bookstores. This is an introduction to every other book on this site. Available in booklet and audio CD.


Evolutionary psychology is a biological approach to psychology that starts with human evolution. It’s the study of universal traits of humanity and of the origins of differences among groups. This is the most direct route to Peace on Earth. By discouraging people from learning about evolution, Christian fundamentalists are preventing Peace on Earth from happening. Available in book and two audio CD set.


The anti-globalization revolution is a struggle against the globalization of Capitalism. No matter what name it goes by, the concentration of resources among a small group of people results in a concentration of decision-making power. People are inherently self-interested, which means centralized decision making power can never be trusted. These and all the other main points of the anti-Capitalist revolution have been proven scientifically, while the idea that Capitalism can ever lead to a just or sustainable society is founded on lies and superstitions. Available in book and free audio download, and in condensed form in booklet and audio CD.


In the evolution versus intelligent design debate, the Christian fundamentalists had an advantage in that the Bible is a story of the world and a reference book to life, while the scientists don’t have anything similar. So this three-volume set is a scientific story of the world and reference book to life. Volume 1 is a philosophical approach to evolution and human psychology, which brings together major discoveries scientists have made into the origins of religion, the history of world civilization, the origins of emotions, social organization, learning, child development, and male/female relations. That scientific foundation creates a solid foundation for a humanistic philosophy of life, death, metaphysics, and choices we have for the future. Available in book and free audio book.


The philosophical foundation of Volume 1 is so solid that by changing a few words I switch to a scientific approach in Volume 2. That’s an easier foundation to use to build up to complicated forms of human behavior, like political, economic, and environmental systems. Available in book and free audio download.


Now that I’ve shown how the psychology of individual people turns into political, economic, and environmental systems, in Volume 3 I use that as a common ground to fit together the goals of progressive movements and ideologies. That includes the anti-Capitalist, anti-corporate, anti-border, anti-nuclear, peace, environmental, animal rights, and feminist movements, Atheism, progressive religion, Indigenous Decolonization, Socialism, Communism, and Anarchism. Available in book and free audio download.


The content of Planetary Biology and the Anti-Capitalist Revolution has been established so thoroughly that you can learn how the global environment and evolutionary psychology work with cycles you can see happening in a garden. That means all the third-world farmers who are being driven off their land by globalization can learn planetary biology as easily as anyone else. And that means they can prove that college educated politicians have no excuse for not knowing that Capitalism isn’t environmentally sustainable and will lead to people fighting over resources. The global educational feudal system ends here. Available in book and free audio download, and the text is posted in its entirety on this site.


This is a rigorous academic version of the connections between evolutionary psychology and the theatrical directing style developed by Constatin Stanislavski, and how I have used them to draw connections among the observations about life different groups of people have made. That is followed by a working class activist perspective on science and the education system in America. Beware, because this is college level evolutionary psychology, followed by my first hand account of what it’s like to have been condemned by the education system to live in a neighborhood where racial hate crimes are a fact of life. Available in book only.


This is an expanded version of Planetary Biology and the Anti-Capitalist Revolution, with 10 additional chapters on topics specific to the Anarchist movement. That includes classist attitudes by the middle class majority, and the misguided rejection of science. This is written for Anarchists specifically, so if you don’t have any experience in the Anarchist movement, you won’t be able to keep up with the terminology and obscure references. If you are an Anarchist, beware, because I grew up in Down East Maine, and I wrote this in my native dialect. If you middle class radicals can’t wrap your brains around the fact that the speaking habits of sailors and lumberjacks aren’t part of the system of oppression like you accuse them of being, you don’t have a global working class revolution. Available in book only until I can find time to finish the audio recording.

Wednesday, October 20th– LIVE AT ASU!!!!

Come see my spoken word show Why Peace, Justice, and Democracy Depend on Ethnic Studies.  Wednesday, October 20th, 6:30 pm. Life Sciences Building Wing E (LSE), room B 04 (first basement level).  Free admission and open to the public.

Jan Brewer has effectively banned ethnic studies classes from Arizona public schools with HB2281.  (The law says that schools that have classes that promote resentment or a sense of solidarity among certain groups of students will lose 10% of their funding—but you can’t talk about what really happened in U.S. history without some groups of students feeling resentment and solidarity about it.)  The problem that minorities always face in public education is that the “education” system is used to reinforce what the majority wants to believe.  But recently some psychologists have found a solution:  Instead of talking about history in terms of good people and bad people, talk about it in terms of how people make decisions and how cultures develop, to show WHY people made different decisions in different situations and why their cultures developed differently.  I am a certified instructor, and there are a lot of teachers in my family, and in my family “minorities” will soon be in the majority, so we’ve known about this problem for a long time.

Here’s a map: http://www.asu.edu/map/interactive.  Parking at ASU sucks, so it’s best to take public transportation or carpool.

Why Peace, Justice, and Democracy Depend on Ethnic Studies

The fact that White people conquered the world has created the illusion that White people must be superior to everyone else. But for the past 35 years some scientists have been working on new approaches to psychology that build up from the universal foundation of human biology.  They’ve made big discoveries in how people think of ideas and how ideas turn into cultures.  This would be an easy and inexpensive way to make ethnic studies classes BETTER, because human psychology is the foundation of all cultures.

I’ll talk about gender culture, child development & culture, world history, racism, religious culture, and choices we have for the future.
