The SERE Effect

I left SERE school exactly 19 years ago. That is fucking nuts. But anyway. I was watching The Selection with the fam. The episode where the contestants did the resistance portion of the shit. I remember doing all that in SERE. The boxes, the loud noises, the cold water, the bullshit. All of it. Tired

Martial Arts of the Mind

Sometimes a concept is easier to grasp when it’s put into terms people can easily relate to. That’s why comparisons, metaphors, similes, parables, and fables are great rhetorical and literary devices. So what can we compare Loricism to that might help put it into

I want to start journaling. Keeping track of shit. Actions, thoughts. Things I’m working on. So that is what I’m doing. We’ll see how long it lasts, since I have a hard time continuing shit for too long. I lack discipline. That’s my biggest problem, and that’s also why discipline was the last virtue added

The Aturian Writing System

Published on

So I created my own writing system for Everwind. It’s been a long time coming, as I’ve attempted this probably 5 or 6 times since I started writing the Everwind series, and a few times even before that, just for fun. I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t inspired by the Elven script

Indoctrination entails spreading an idea by duress. It leaves the victim with no other choices. Control isn’t freedom. Indoctrination is psychological slavery. On Power and Fear Power is a tenuous thing. Wherever power seeks to control, it is surely underscored by fear. The greater the level of control an agency seeks to seize, the greater

The Pledge of Allegiance has been a ubiquitous entity in American culture since its creation in 1892 (formally adopted in 1942). It’s been a classroom staple for decades. But we shouldn’t force kids to recite the Pledge, or anyone for that matter. Because to do so is antithetical to the core values of this awesome nation

The highest responsibility of any form of government is that of the application of justice.

Matt Damon censored with duct tape. Should celebrity opinions matter?

For as long as I can remember, people have been bitching about celebrities voicing their opinions. Should celebrity opinions matter? Doesn’t matter where they voice them, the response from their detractors is always the same: stick to acting. Or music. Or writing books. Or playing ball. Whatever it is, some people simply cannot wait to

hands clasped over bible. Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion.

It is astounding how many times I hear something like, “It’s freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion!” I can no longer abide this egregious divorce from logic and reasoning.

bubbles in water. Is it ever okay to live in a psychological bubble?

There are lots of atrocities happening in this world, and I’m a huge proponent of awareness of these things. Living in a psychological bubble can create a false sense of security.
