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 [...]

The Power of Self-Sufficiency and How to BECOME Self-Sufficient

1
We hear it a lot: the notion of a “free and independent people.” We hear a lot of wonderful ideas about what it might mean to be ‘self-sufficient’ in the modern world. For the bulk of modern Western society, self sufficiency equates to having a high paying job, having high social status, and obtaining material [...]
Freedom!

Response to Reader: What is Freedom?

2
Anonymous, via Formspring, asks: Based on what I know about you, and it is very little, you seem to value Freedom a lot. How would you define Freedom, and how would one achieve the Freedom that you define? As a side question, do you think it is possible for anyone to be free? I think [...]

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 [...]

Some people I know personally have sometimes fallen under the impression that [...]

Emergencies, Health, and Transportation Preparedness

0
Life has a way of “sneaking up” on anyone who is unprepared. This includes all areas – there is always something you have left out. Still, why not be the most prepared you can possibly be? Emergencies, health, and transit are all major, important areas to have your bases covered. But what, really, is the [...]

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 [...]

What’s It’s Like to Take 18 Credit Hours

4
Many people tend to wonder when they are attempting such a thing in college – is taking 18 credit hours too much? Right now I am attempting such a thing for the first semester ever. Given that I have so many side projects (like this website, for example) it is a pretty big undertaking for [...]
