Jesse Dustin has written a powerful tale of exodus, fatherhood, growth and redemption, through the intergenerational exploration of Technocracy vs Tradition, and its effects on the family unit. "Translated" from an archaic text recovered long ago, this document/novel explores the pains and fears of both existing within, and escaping from, the Industrial world - in… Continue reading ❍︎ The History of Nicolas & the Oracle of Knowledge || Book Trailer ❍︎

The Cancers of Modern-isms
Lazy-ness, mixed-in with some really good-intentions . . . Disclaimer: Just in case it is not obvious, this article is partly tongue-in-cheek, partly a piece of utter-pure-reality. It is up to the reader to decide which is which. Environmental-ism, Conservation-ism, Left-ism is often a cancer of lazy-ness, mixed-in with some really good-intentions. I think this… Continue reading The Cancers of Modern-isms
Merry Christmas to you too?
Since Covid is all Both Parties ever talk about. Let's Talk. . . TLDR: Both Political Parties want you to consume so much, you get high blood-pressure, and need Big Pharma to normalize it.

Why I gave up on Silicon Valley and Started a Goat Farm.
Originally published on Homestead.org Not that long ago, I thought I had it all. A cushy well-paid job making awesome innovative musical gadgets. I drove a German convertible. I ate out a lot. Sushi at least a few times a week. A nice condo. Life was all music, video-games, Netflix and chill, but deep in… Continue reading Why I gave up on Silicon Valley and Started a Goat Farm.
Searching For That Best Time of Life
Chatting with a 91 year old… The hard part in life is finding something that you enjoy doing, and that gives you the income to keep doing it.

Technology lovers unite!
How Technology Eventually Broke My Heart… When I was a young man my parents bought an Apple IIGS computer, one of the first personal computers to reach the masses. This thing was state of the art at the time, you could print giant 10-foot long banners on your dot-matrix printer, create holiday cards, write stories,… Continue reading Technology lovers unite!
The hyper-capitalism of the left.
And why no one wants to work. It pains me to write this stuff, because I used to be such a fan of Capitalism. I was the poster boy of this stuff; I went to Engineering school, I worked in an R&D office in Silicon-Valley, I have read Hayek & Rothbard & Atlas Shrugged more… Continue reading The hyper-capitalism of the left.

Revisiting McLuhan through the lens of the Electric Age
Marshall McLuhan predicted "the Future of Man in the Electric Age" back in a 1965 interview (as well as throughout his life's work). I recently made a video examining (editing) his interview, and juxtaposing his work with images and audio from the Other end of the Electric Age.. Hopefully it does a good job elucidating… Continue reading Revisiting McLuhan through the lens of the Electric Age
Voluntary Self-Erasure

Technology: Voluntary or Mandatory?
https://youtu.be/Tc917jhZmvc Is tech really making our lives easier? All technology is at first, purely voluntary. Accessible to early adopters. But as society, behaviors, and attitudes are further built upon and shaped by that technology, it eventually becomes mandatory Cars Before: you walked, rode a horse/buggy Early stage: Few cars, still voluntary Mature Stage: Roads built,… Continue reading Technology: Voluntary or Mandatory?

No Criticism Without Jealousy?
https://youtu.be/Y8eO3gihP9k In the video above, I posit that: "There is no sense in which a criticism (whether legitimate or illegitimate) could not also be motivated by jealousy." That doesn't automatically invalidate the criticism, but it gives a potential context for its emergence. The examples used in the video above pertain mostly to criticism of (and… Continue reading No Criticism Without Jealousy?

The 7 Steps of Reason for Unification & Understanding
In its earliest stages, Unism more or less existed ephemerally, in the discussions and bonds between its members and followers. We have always been convinced of the importance of Unism, and dedicated to the expansion of it, as an idea and practice, for individuals and for the world. But until recently, we have lacked the… Continue reading The 7 Steps of Reason for Unification & Understanding
The Timeless Nightmare of our Unresolvable Myths
