Idle Vibe – The Thing We Feel is Missing

0
Have you ever experienced a sense that “something is missing” from your daily routine? Have you ever been told this by someone else about their life? Satisfaction is one of those elusive things in modern culture. Much of what we deem to be happiness is lost from our expectations that are out of alignment with [...]

Libertarianism, Liberty, and Self Improvement – What’s the Connection?

2
For those that are unaware of what being a “Libertarian” actually is, there are a few different ways in which the word is used. One, we refer to the Libertarian Party, which I preface this article by saying I am not currently an official member of (nor have I ever been). Two, we refer to [...]

Hurricane Ike Revealed the Illusions of Modern Life

1
Anyone who has ever gone mountain climbing or spent the night on a beach away from the lights of any nearby cities knows – the night sky is beautiful. Back in 2008, I experienced several weeks where I was without electricity, without the security blanket of a nearby grocery store to supply me with food, [...]

Revisiting Education: The Case for Privatization and Real Modernization

1
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve even touched on the subject of education and learning. In fact, the last time I did was an article I wrote here on this website in 2006. So, I figure now in 2011 would probably be a good time to write up a few new things about [...]

Speaking of Liberty… Occupying the Federal Reserve in Dallas and Houston

3
In line with my belief that individual action is necessary for creating a difference, acknowledging and then following the notion that you should rationally pursue what you know you have control over. I may not be able to alter massive populations by some sort of magical coercion (or the Law of Attraction) but it seems [...]

How I “Do It” Every Day. And by do it, I really mean argue relentlessly with the common folk…

1
It has been a considerable amount of time since last posting an article to this blog, so I figure I’d take some time in the midst of my end-of-the-day tiredness to take a shot at writing a new piece. While it may seem counterintuitive to a lot of people to spend so much time away [...]

A Day in the Life of Scott Lee

2
While some of the following narrative is a tad fiction, I’m really wanting to write this to combine a variety of elements that add up to having a clear cut sort of representation of what a typical day in my life is like. Some people I know personally have sometimes fallen under the impression that [...]

What Would You Do With Fame?

1
Since most people are not famous, most people also do not consider what being famous would actually entail. For a small number of people, of course, fame, whether it be in the extreme sense or the mild, is something that is a fact of life. By many people’s standards, even an individual such as myself [...]

The Importance of Discourse and Discussion

0
Throughout my experience in recent time and with the internet in general, it has become obvious that people underestimate the importance of meaningful discussion. When relating the mere act of a conversation back to the conceptualization of personal growth the importance of discourse lies in the benefit of how there is a mutual exchange of [...]

Why Learning About the ‘Law of Attraction’ is a Waste of Time!

7
Just about everybody has heard of the movie, The Secret, and I have talked to countless different people I know personally who are still raving about the idea of the Law of Attraction to this day. In fact, I heard about the film way before the majority of the public had when it had just [...]
