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.

Science, Religion, and Broken Wagon Axles

A lot of religious people try to take advantage of the fact that there are things in the universe that can’t be observed scientifically, to hide their religions beyond the reach of science.  Two things religious people have traditionally used, before science was even invented, are what existed prior to the origins of the universe, and the existence of an afterlife as a place that the spirits of the dead go.  Two others limitations on scientific observation that some religious people have been taking advantage of recently are the depths of the universe and the minuteness of subatomic particles.  They say that the fact that their religion can’t be disproven proves it must exist in those places.  Or else they say that the fact that science can’t answer certain questions proves that their religious beliefs must be right.

Those arguments don’t prove anything.  The inability of science to disprove something that was never provable to begin with doesn’t prove the thing exists by default.  Quite the contrary, in fact.  There are some things in the world that are easy to observe scientifically.  One of them is the way matter and energy move through the world as a result of people’s actions.  Right now, matter and energy are moving through the world in a way that’s causing a lot of war, death, and suffering.   Food and medicine aren’t moving from where they are to people who need them at a sufficient rate, bullets are moving from guns into people’s bodies, and so forth.  And all the observable evidence we have indicates that on our present course those things are only going to get worse.  If all the observable evidence indicates that, why do Americans expect foreigners not to notice it?  Why should Americans expect other people to keep cooperating with them instead of fighting back to try to defend themselves?  And that would only lead to more war, death, and suffering.

The majority of Americans are Christians, which means they supposedly follow Jesus.  Jesus was the Prince of Peace, not the Prince of War, Death, and Suffering.  So why are so many Americans having so much trouble keeping track of whether they follow the Prince of Peace or the Prince of War, Death, and Suffering?

As American politicians learned the hard way during the Vietnam War, there’s no such thing as peace through military superiority.  Don’t you think Jesus should’ve been smart enough to know that ahead of time?  And what is President Bush trying to do in Iraq right now, but bring about peace through military superiority?

So the bottom line is, scientists don’t need to disprove President Bush’s religion, because President Bush has disproved it all by himself.

There is one, and only one, way for religious people to believe in supernatural powers without inadvertently depending on divine intervention to make their political and economic systems function.  I made up my own term for it just to be neutral to everyone’s religions.  I call it the Intangible Mass of Cosmic Grooviness.

It’s the embodiment of the story of the Christian whose wagon broke an axle.  The guy had been a good Christian all his life, so he decided that rather than fix the axle himself, he would pray to his god to fix it for him.  He sat there praying all day, but nothing happened.  That night, a good Samaritan came along and asked the guy if he needed help.

“I don’t understand,” said the guy, “I’ve been a good Christian all my life, and I’ve been sitting here praying all day for my axle to be fixed, but it hasn’t been.”

“Well,” said the Samaritan, “it seems to me that your god already gave you the hands and the intelligence you need to fix the axle yourself.”

The Intangible Mass of Cosmic Grooviness (by whatever term you prefer to call it) only helps those who help themselves.  If you do everything you can to take responsibility for your own actions and solve your own problems, you might set events into motion in some dimension of reality that’s invisible to us, that will make things work out even better for you than anyone could’ve predicted with the laws of physics as we know them.   However, if you expect the IMCG to intervene on your behalf, plan on it intervening, or depend on it intervening, one thing is guaranteed:  It won’t intervene on your behalf.  It won’t take pity on you, it won’t have any sympathy for you, and it won’t show you any mercy.  If you choose to be helpless, you choose to be helpless.  If you choose to make mistakes, you choose to make mistakes.  You create your own fate.
