Are You a Pawn?
In chess, the pawn can only advance. Pawns can’t backtrack or change course. It’s a perfect analogy for the modern political system. Are you a pawn?

Critique of ‘Woke Racism’ by John McWhorter
I enjoyed Professor John McWhorter’s lectures on the history of language and was very interested to read what he had to write about the modern social justice burlesque known as anti-racism. He gets some things wrong considering he’s coming from a secular liberal background but the thesis as a whole is right on and it […]

Beware Chesterton’s Fence: A Critique of A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century
Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying’s A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life is basically a nerdy version of my book Paleo Family: Raising Natural Kids in an Unnatural World so obviously, I was excited to read it. Just like our book, the authors survey various aspects of our […]

Capitalism is a Good in Itself; A Critique of ‘Woke, Inc.’ by Vivek Ramaswamy

It also ironically foretold the antagonist in his second book, “Speechless” which took aim at the illiberal left and their war on speech. In his first earnest book, Knowles […]

A Better Rock Paper Scissors: Rock Water Sticks
I’ve often enjoyed the game and justice purveyor Rock, Paper, Scissors. As a means of deciding things between people, it’s great and it’s also a fun game. I’ve recently enjoyed playing with my kids until the game devolves into a competition of who can make the silliest hand gesture when it’s time to present rock […]

Are Goodreads Giveaways Worth It?
The last time I did a Goodreads Giveaway, I generated interest from hundreds of people, got several reviews (some actually good) and some lasting interest in the book. Fast forward almost four years and things have changed. I was shocked to find that the now Amazon subsidiary requires a fee of $199 or $599 for […]
