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.

- Greg Swann writes – fiction and early essays.

New at SelfAdoration.com- Christmas at DollarTree – with the future of all humankind…
- Willie Humanseed: Cultivating greatness one choo-choo train ride at a time.
