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.

Thanksgiving Day with the Jehovah’s Witnesses:

I have one cousin who’s a Jehovah’s Witness.  Like any other Jehovah’s Witness, she doesn’t celebrate holidays, because every day is equally important.  Like other Jehovah’s Witnesses I’ve known, she’s very responsible and hard working, and doesn’t allow herself to be distracted from her responsibilities by a bunch of superfluous celebration.  Among the Jehovah’s Witnesses, every day is Thanksgiving, because every single day is something you should be thankful for.

Somewhere in the south Pacific is an island where the primitive people live in grass huts and rake mud with sticks all day. I heard a story from an American who lived among these people for a while (but I don’t remember which island it was, unfortunately).  According to the story, these people spend all their free time doing only three things: getting ready for parties, partying, and recovering from parties.  That doesn’t sound very responsible, does it?  And yet their entire culture is built around it.  They sound like my kind of people!  Literally, because they don’t sound terribly different from the Pagan community here in America.

So on behalf of the Pagan community, I just have one thing to say:  No sh*t every day single day is something you should be thankful for.  Every Pagan knows that!  Why do you think we throw parties constantly?  It’s not that some days are more important than other days, it’s just that some days you celebrate some things and other days you celebrate other things.  Some days you celebrate bountiful harvests, and some days you celebrate the changing seasons, and some days you celebrate the mysteriousness of the boundaries between the world of the living and the world of the dead, and some days you celebrate your birth and some days you celebrate other people’s births, and some days you celebrate mothers, and some days you celebrate fathers, and some days you celebrate your wedding anniversary, and some days you celebrate the birth of your country and the things that it stands for, and a lot of days you celebrate being able to work for a living, and some days you celebrate being able to take a day off from working for a living.

So I can’t help but thinking that just maybe the Jehovah’s Witnesses are missing the point.  If you try to celebrate everything by celebrating nothing, how are you ever going to know if you’re succeeding?  How are you ever going to be able to tell what celebrating feels like if you never do it? In the same way, virgins aren’t very good in bed either, no matter what they might like to tell themselves.

It’s a great idea in theory, but in practice, as all the former Jehovah’s Witnesses I’ve known agree, and all the practicing Jehovah’s Witnesses I’ve ever known seem to indicate through their actions as far as I can tell, by trying to celebrate everything by celebrating nothing, they make every single day just as boring, uninteresting, plain,  and non-descript as every other day.  So what kind of a celebration is that?
