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 Science of Art:

Two of the oldest studies of human behavior don’t appear scientific at all at first glance, but like science they both depend on being insightful and accurate, so beneath the surface they actually are scientific in their own ways.   Theatre and fiction writing both turn an understanding of human behavior into art.  The better the artist understands human behavior, the more successful his art will be, because all theatre and all fiction depends on characters that human audiences can relate to in order to propel their stories.  Even aliens, androids, monsters, cartoons, and talking animals in movies and TV shows are created by human artists, are acted and directed by human artists, and are watched by human audiences.  If human audiences can’t relate to (supposedly) non-human main characters, they aren’t going to be interested in the movie, and the movie isn’t going to do very well.

Ever hear the saying, “Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense”?  That’s exactly my point:  you can’t make a living as an artist by confusing, annoying, or boring your audience.  In theatre and fiction the artistic medium is human behavior.  Just as painters don’t need to know the wavelengths of the light that each color of paint reflects in order to be able to paint, theatre artists and fiction writers don’t need to understand human behavior scientifically in order to create their art.  However, theatre and fiction succeed or fail because of the artist’s ability to convey human behavior that makes sense somehow to a human audience.   Therefore, successful theatre or fiction encapsulates human behavior that a large number of people agree to be realistic, even if none of those people know exactly why it’s realistic.

I started writing fiction when I was 9 and I started acting when I was 13.  I started college studying acting and I’ve worked in professional theatre for most of my adult life.  I started writing fiction intently my third year in college and have been doing so ever since.  I started writing this book based primarily on those two backgrounds, and as I’ve been working on it I’ve come across research by dozens of doctors of human sciences that agrees with everything I had to say.  So I guess that must be a good sign, eh?
