Currently writing my fifth book in four years. I have sold less than 100 copies of my books, but I remain undeterred.

I am compelled to write. I don't want to make a profit, I just want to be heard.

A true meritocracy takes work. A true meritocracy takes time. A true meritocracy is truly impartial. It is an ideal worth striving for.

Conversations should not be battlefields; the better human being is always the one who knows when to yield.

One of the fundamental philosophical questions is: "why are we here?"

What is one’s life—good or bad—but the product of the choices we’ve made?

We have visited upon the shackles of body, society, religion, and law; now, let us turn inward to the irons that we impose upon ourselves...

Going back and remastering all of my videos to use AI-generated art instead of stock images that I don't have licenses for... 😳😬

The first thing you must realize is that the human soul wants nothing more than to be free.

The second thing you must realize is that we are all born into bondage...
