(Originally published October 13, 2021.) I’m not telling you whether I’ve had the jab or not, because it doesn’t matter. What I am telling you is that a woman in Denver is about to die because the…

Yes, you. All reasonably healthy humans are demi-gods. I apologize for hitting you with a concept that may feel foreign, dangerous and ridiculous, but it needs to be said. And regardless that we lack…

There is a kinship between productive humans; one that spreads all across this planet. It may be invisible to power and hierarchy, but we productive people recognize it. When we drive into a new town,…

If you want millions of dollars thrown at you, find a way to suck a new part of people’s lives from the world of atoms to the world of data. If you can do that, your odds are good. This is a very…

This line, which I’m swiping from Izzy Rabi’s mom, would be a good thing to write on billboards and bumper stickers, as persistent reminders that we should all ask something interesting every day.…

People remember Thomas Jefferson mainly for the Declaration of Independence, which he wrote in 1776. Some remember that he served as president from 1801 to 1809, but aside from that, few know much…

Place all eight pieces on a 6 by 5 chessboard so that the bishops are on opposite colored squares and no piece is attacking another.

It’s a massive waste of time and energy, not to mention seriously depressing, to turn on your computer in the morning and get slapped with the worst news that can be found. It is a blow to your…

Several years ago, an unusual set of events found me at Starbucks on a Saturday night. It had been a reasonably decent day, but somehow the pressures of the world – its parade of negativity – had had…

Sadly, I keep hearing stories about people slashing at each other for “cultural appropriation.” I had hoped this issue would die on its own, but evidently it hasn’t. And so I think it’s worth a brief…

The social contract is a description of “the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual.” The social contract asserts that all of us have consented to…

Last week we examined the “social contract” in some depth, to see if it passes as a legal concept. This week we’ll examine two follow-up issues: one that I didn’t mention and one that I mentioned, but…

The statement I’ll be making today is simple… very simple. Nonetheless, I think it’s of tremendous importance. It’s the type of thing that, if kept sufficiently in mind, can revise your mental universe. It’s the type of thing that makes me want to write,…

We’ve all heard the slogan, “United we stand, divided we fall” hundreds of times. It is portrayed as wisdom, but in fact it’s generally false. If you require a mass of bodies to charge another mass of…

(Originally published October 12, 2022.) I prefer to focus on building the good rather than identifying the bad. But there is also a place for understanding what is happening in the world. (“Wise as…

Free-Man's Perspective Classic: Populating The New Era The cultural norms imposed by the Western aristocracy over the past century have not only expired but are presently being ripped apart. A new era is being forged right now, and it’s our job to fill it…

Late last week, the US Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, released more than 100 pages of formerly-classified documents, showing that then-President of the United States, Barack Obama,…
