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.

The Holistic Approach to Science

A lot of progressively minded people I meet tell me people shouldn’t think about science, because that won’t save the world; people need to experience the mystery and magic of life, not learn that all of life is a giant chemical reaction.

There are just two problems with that.

First of all, you’re confusing science with some illustration in an antique textbook, of serious-looking White men with square ‘50s hairdos, wearing white lab coats and horn-rimmed glasses, mixing chemicals in beakers.  You probably feel that if everyone learns about science they’ll all turn into academic geeks with no personalities or creativity anymore.   But looking at a picture, assuming it represents an entire group of people, and making a strong emotional attachment to the idea that the entire group of people must be like that doesn’t make you an expert at science, it only makes you an expert at stereotyping people.  Just to use myself for an example, at various times I’ve been an actor, a director, a set carpenter, and a sculptor, I’ve taught myself how to write novels, I like to paint and dance, and I’ve helped set up two punk theatre companies.  So obviously your stereotype was wrong.  Get over it.

Second, if you think that saving the world depends on discouraging people from learning about science, then you are trying to control other people’s access to information, in order to get them to think the way you want them to think and act the way you want them to act.

Forget about the fact that’s propaganda.  Forget about the fact it’s authoritarian.  What happens if people learn what you don’t want them to know about from somewhere else?  Then they will know things you don’t want them to know, they won’t think the way you want them to think, and they won’t act the way you want them to act.  Now you’ve defeated your own attempts at a cohesive political force, all by yourself.

Let me tell you a little something about science…

The entire world is one gigantic work of art.  The world’s appearance was created by a very specific and very complicated process.

Each individual thing in the world is a work of art, because the appearance of each individual thing was created by a very specific and very complicated process.

The entire world is a perfect work of engineering.  It works the way it works for very specific and very complicated reasons.

Each individual thing in the world is a perfect work of engineering, because each individual thing works the way it works for very specific and very complicated reasons.

Every living thing is a long lost relative of every other living thing.  You, a cat, a mosquito, and a dandelion are all related to each other.  You’re related to the AIDS virus also.

Every person is a work of art.  Each person got to be the way they are by a very specific and very complicated process.

This moment of your life was created by every moment of your life that came before it.  In this moment of your life, you are helping to create every moment of the rest of your life.  The same is true for every other moment of your life.

This moment of your life was created by every moment that has happened since the world began.  The likelihood of your existence was incomprehensibly small.  20 million years ago, a certain sperm was swimming in a certain part of a male monkey’s testicle, which made it the first to reach a certain female monkey’s egg.  If that hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t’ve been born.  The same is true for every sperm that fertilized every egg in your entire ancestry.  And that’s not even considering all the other things that happened to make every one of your ancestors meet their mates in the first place.

But that incomprehensibly small likelihood of your existence doesn’t make you special, because the same is true for everyone else in the world.

The entire world is one gigantic chemical reaction.  Everything is connected to everything else.

Every single thing people do—paintings, music, styles of food, architecture, romance, philosophy, literature, mathematics, agriculture, education, the Olympic Games, and whatever you were doing an hour ago—is all a part of that gigantic chemical reaction.

That chemical reaction began about 3 1/2 billion years ago in some muddy water.

In a hundred years from now, it could all be gone.

All of this sounds like typical philosophy for progressively minded people.  But it’s not.  All of this is science.  All of this was discovered by the objective study of observable evidence.  There are still things that scientists haven’t discovered yet and pieces of puzzles they haven’t figured out yet.  But those are just details and technicalities anymore.
