Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos – Part 2
In Part 1 I discussed the destructiveness of social altruism and the pitfalls of personal altruism. Irrational selfishness ties in with altruism because altruists need irrationally selfish people.

Where Has The Love Gone? - Discovering Love’s Secret Hideaway
The poets and philosophers have waxed on about the sublimity and ecstasy of love for centuries. Unfortunately many cry out “Oh love, sweet love why do you forsake me.” Others who may actually experience some love in their relationships look at the state of world affairs and conclude that life on earth is for the […]
