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.

Spiritual Concrete:

Best of all, if there was one universal objective formula that people could use to understand what makes them and everyone else what they are, they could stop worrying about those things and focus their attentions on other things.   Let me put it this way:

There’s a story from the Bible about a guy who builds his house on the sand.  It’s easy to build, but the foundation is weak and the whole house gets washed away the next time the river rises.  His neighbor built his house on a rock.  He had to work his ass off to do it, but after the flood came his house was the one that was still standing. I’ve built enough foundations for enough houses in real life that I think I can appreciate that story more than most people.  Now that I’ve accomplished what I’ve set out to do, I’ve finally finished my spiritual house.  And now I sit here on my rock watching billions of people arguing over whose patch of sand is the best, and killing each other to take each other’s sand in the hopes that it will be better than the sand they already own.  It comes in different colors, textures, and mineral compositions, some sand is better than other sand, some of it has gravel and stone in it, and some of it might even have oil under it, but sand is still sand.

That’s hardly to say that I’m the only person to have ever built on a rock.  That is to say, that in the course of building on my rock my engineering nature has driven me to develop a recipe for concrete—that is, a formula for turning sand and gravel into rock.  (Artificial metamorphic rock, to be specific.)   And now that I have it, I think I ought to share it, just because that’s the kind of thing neighbors do for each other where I’m from.  Everyone has to build their own house, and building a house is a lot of hard work no matter what kind of foundation you use (as I have also done in real life).

Everyone always builds the best house they can think of.  A lot of people have had to build houses without knowing how to build on rock, or without being able to find rock, or without having the time to build on rock.  Some people have even tried building on rock only to discover afterwards that the rock wasn’t as solid as they thought it was. Some of those people have gone on living in those houses anyway, and some have torn them down to start over.  Some of those people end up building their new houses on sand because they can’t find a new rock.

There are a lot of important parts and aspects to a house besides the foundation.  Houses can be built that are good in all respects except for the fact that they’re built on sand.  The foundation is the part of the house that keeps the rest of it from falling down, but it would be elitist for anyone to say that’s the only part of the house that’s worth anything.  The foundation won’t keep you warm or dry, for instance, and you can’t cook food on it.  My own metaphorical house isn’t all that much to speak of.  It serves its purpose, and serves it well, even though it looks like Dr. Frankenstein’s castle.  But one thing I can say for it is that I made sure it got the most indestructible foundation ever built!

Even if I gave everyone a map to good rock and instructions on how to build on rock, I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t abandon their current houses and take the time to start over, and a lot more people just wouldn’t want to part with the houses they’ve worked so hard to build already.  Good houses can be renovated though, and good foundations can be built under good houses (and I’ve even done that in real life) to save them from having to be torn down.

I’ve built my house now and I’m done, and I’m not building anyone else’s houses for them.  But if my formula for rock works as well for anyone else as it has for me, I’m sure somebody could find it useful, either for building new houses on rock or for strengthening the foundations of the houses they’ve already built.
