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.

Critical Masses of Consciousness:

As Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the French philosopher, postulated, if humanity could reach a critical mass of higher consciousness it would be elevated to a higher level of being.  That’s exactly what happened—to a small extent—in the hypothetical ice cream society when the majority of people agreed to stop arguing over whether chocolate or vanilla was better and agree that people should be allowed to choose between chocolate or vanilla.  It follows, unfortunately, that if humanity reached a critical mass of lower consciousness, it would be reduced to a lower level of being.  Considering all the things there are in the world that are trying to reduce us all to statistics, I don’t think the course of the future is working to our advantage at the moment.

To build an atom bomb, you start with some weapons-grade uranium or plutonium.  Both of those are radioactive because they’re very large atoms, which means their outermost neutrons have weak bonds. Neutrons that break loose from atoms can collide with the nuclei of other atoms and break them. That breaking of nuclei will release a lot of energy and free up more neutrons that can break more nuclei, and so on, setting off a chain reaction—or a cascade effect, as it’s called.  When you accumulate a critical mass of material, it becomes a mathematical inevitability that a cascade effect will begin.  (I’m being intentionally vague on this topic as a matter of principle, so I hope you don’t mind.)

When they dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, the bomb builders had placed something less than a critical mass of uranium-235 at each end of a tube.  Explosive charges went off, drove the masses into each other, formed the critical mass, and the rest is history.  By setting off the reaction in roughly fifty pounds of uranium, they produced the explosive force of 15,000 tons of TNT.  About 70,000 people were killed instantly, and a total of 200,000 people died in all.  200,000!  These days, it takes the world-wide AIDS epidemic three whole weeks to kill that many people!  (According to the official report, it was also  the low estimate for the number of Americans that were expected to die in the forthcoming invasion of Japan to try to end the war the “polite” way.)
What would happen if there was a critical mass of people in the world who wanted to get along with each other and stop bombing each others’ cities for a change, and they just needed a triggering mechanism to bring them all together?  And what would happen if I could figure out how to build that triggering mechanism?

Well, I guess we’re going to find out, hmm?
