Man Alive! A survival manual for the human mind
A free eBook of moral philosophyMy 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.
- SelfAdoration.com – a weblog devoted to the philosophical defense of ontologically-consonant egoism.
New at SelfAdoration.com- When the New Left becomes the Old Reich, it’s time to get a gun.
- Going Galt with style: By choosing so admirably, Richard Nikoley sets a good example for us all.
- The perfect life and beautiful death of a gangly little mermaid.
- Celebrating the first year of Man Alive!: There is more to come…
- Nudity is a dumb argument, but at least the Femen babes get naked for justice – and they have waists!

The greatest risk of resurrgent statism is that we will forsake the unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness…
Arthur C. Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute in The Washington Post: The new statism in America, made possible by years of drift and accelerated by the panic over the economic crisis, threatens to make us permanently poorer.

Rand Paul’s take on private property rights is correct — and daring to tell unfamiliar, uncomfortable truths to voters is laudable.
Well. I’m thinking that “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” has brought us a nearly universal display of cowardice from the RE.net. If I am mistaken in this, I will happily amend my error with a link and a courtly bow.

This one is just for fun. --GSS] How the bank robbed Bonnie and Clyde A Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Willie story “Stick ‘em up!” said Clyde. I swear that’s what he said. My first bank robbery.
