  • Save the world from home
    — in your spare time!

    Disintermediation means cutting out the middle-man, and, by teaching you a new way of thinking about human nature and about your own unique self, Man Alive! puts you in charge of your own philosophical affairs.

    The book's objectives are precise and concise: To take the claim of justice away from the state, the mantle of intellectual authority away from the academy and the experience of reverence away from the church. It puts all of those things back where they belong — in your mind. There is no middle-man on truth.

    My other writing isn't collected in one place, but here's a shopping list for finding the best of it:

    • Greg Swann writes – fiction and early essays.
    • PresenceOfMind.net – a weblog I maintained in the early years of the new millenium.
    • BloodhoundBlog – a national real estate weblog I started and contribute to. Much of the content there will be real estate related, but everything I write is focused on the self, and this is best represented in the longer essays.
    • SplendorQuest.com – a weblog devoted to celebrating the uniquely human life.
  • RSS New at SelfAdoration.com

    • Silent cinema in three quick glances: Emily Brownbangs at the conception of guile.
    • Love at first sight, twenty-five years later: Someone to thrive with.
    • My only points of disagreement with Ayn Rand, libertarianism and scholarship in general: Everyone has been wrong about everything, going back forever.
    • Ayn Rand and me – why my homework is late…
    • An infinity of souls.

  • I speak your language

    I am delighted to speak anywhere, anywhen, and I am interested in any opportunity you can come up with for me to evangelize egoism. I am rich in ideas that, so far, few of us seem to prize. If you value the idea of Splendor in the way I do, let's talk about how we can increase our numbers.
