The Hourly Wage Needs to End (Well, Sort of…)
During this extended period of enforced inactivity, I’ve had a considerable amount of time to think about various topics in a way that I hadn’t really approached in the same way I did back when I had specific things to worry about every day. When you don’t have a rigid schedule forcing your mind into […]

Career and the Illusion of Choice
One of the biggest lies that have been perpetrated in our modern culture is the idea that with more progress we end up having more choice.

How Do You Move Forward When You Have a Wandering Soul?
I haven’t written a real article in quite a little while. My life lately has been one of inner turmoil, despite the fact that I’ve been fairly stable financially since I lost my job a couple of months ago. Since then I’ve been trying to figure out how to move forward with my life, hoping […]

Learning to Make MONEY with Something You ENJOY
Making money is one of the more sad things that we have to deal with in our lives on this little pale blue dot we call Earth. The laws of nature dictate that we have to put in time and effort into very boring things like finding resources to survive. As most of us have […]

Successful Ignorance
“The world will always need ditch diggers.” This saying, or whatever version you might be familiar with, has been around for as long as we have had modern industry.
