This is the end of [redacted], but I am not done working with the Principle of Human Respect. There is so much more to do.

How do we bring about the Good, Beautiful, and True in our lives? I sat down with Andy Fowler to learn more about his approach.

A system consistent with the human condition, and reality requires at least the recognition of human value.

Mr. Redacted went to a place, where all of the people remembered his name. He was surrounded by beauty, adjacent to fame.

Compared to any peaceful resolution, violence on the individual and systemic levels is a distantly undesirable last choice.

Journalism will lose big if revenue is tied to state advertising budgets. There is an incentive and moral problem that needs to be addressed.

Controlling another person’s life is not a moral action among a free people or a people who aspire to live freely.

The title I chose for this project holds up, so far, because there is no one definition of happiness, harmony, and prosperity.

Last week I sat down with Rusty Shackleford to get his thoughts on the Principle of Human Respect and discuss living your ideals.

At every point in the past where peace has occurred, something has simultaneously been imperfect. What you choose to believe matters.

How does it become a man to behave toward this American government today? I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.

In my third appearance on The Bullpen, we discussed the nature of time, joy, and what we do with an imperfect reality.
