Reparation of Language
In my continuing reclamation of lost heritage (see An Introspection of My Identity), I’ve been giving sustained thought to language—specifically, the language I would have learned by lineage rather than by conquest. The English I speak today is Germanic in structure and imperial in history, shaped and imposed through centuries of Christian and political domination. It is not the language that would have arisen naturally from my ancestral line.

This essay is not a rejection of my past, but an accounting of it. It traces how inherited belief, cultural identity, and lived experience collided—and how honesty required choosing coherence over comfort. What follows is not an argument for others to adopt, but a record of how I came to myself.

Essay: Choose Poor

I. Opening: The Heresy Revisited The phrase lands like an insult, or worse, like a failure confessed out loud. Poverty is not merely an economic condition in modern culture; it is treated as a moral verdict. To be poor is assumed to mean one did not try hard enough, plan…
Essay: Choose Poor
I. Opening: The Heresy Revisited The phrase lands like an insult, or worse, like a failure confessed out loud. Poverty is not merely an economic condition in modern culture; it is treated as a moral verdict. To be poor is assumed to mean one did not try hard enough, plan carefully enough, or value responsibility. Wealth, by contrast, is framed as evidence of virtue—discipline rewarded, intelligence recognized, freedom earned.

Published the Circle of Healing Charter, these take some time as they don't drag n' drop cleanly from Microsoft Word, so there's a bit of restructuring and reformatting that has to be done each time. I also cleaned up the homepage, so Articles I-XXI are no longer in the main list and strictly available via the link through the Constitution. I'm trying to keep the homepage lean for aesthetic purposes, I'm working on future images to start including for each page as well.

Self-Critique and External Rebuttal
Introduction The Utopian Corpus was never conceived as a flawless monument, sealed away from critique, nor as a doctrine immune to question. Instead, it begins from a recognition that all human design—whether systems of governance, codes of ethics, or philosophies of society—is provisional. Every framework is subject to the slow erosion of time, to the shifts of circumstance, and to the inevitable oversights of those who authored it.

Years ago when WordPress was new to the scene and blogs were the latest buzzword, I had one here but wiped it over a decade ago. I've returned hoping to quickly post the corpus of the Utopian Society, but WordPress now has website creation tools. No longer is it a simple write and post platform. However this development has become advantageous in that I can craft a living corpus in which the documents are all linked to one another for ease of navigation.

The Polymathic Thread: Learning as the Logic of Life
Prelude – The Nature of Connection I have never seen the world as a collection of isolated subjects, but as one continuous organism of understanding. Every science, every craft, every philosophy hums with the same current. They differ in language, but not in essence. Where others see partitions, I see bridges. The veins of knowledge branch outward, yet all draw from the same heart.

Wrote my divorced parents an essay of introspection to whom I've become, now that I'm almost 50. It didn’t go well, "This doesn't sound like you."
Summary, A personal reckoning: leaving Christianity through study, reclaiming Brythonic ancestry, and embracing Naturalism, embodiment, and integrity.

Haven't been on in awhile. Was surprised to find that some of my posts had be liked, and that I have followers. That was unexpected. The most significant news is Reddits automated filter wiped my account of 4 years after posting long prose philosophical essays, and a chapter from a book I'm writing.

Ordered a new #damnnearkiltem "Smithy" kilt, belt and sporran through Amazon for St Patrick's Day 🍀. Shipping indicated a Sunday delivery, accessories delivered Monday, and the kilt Tuesday.🤷🏻‍♂️ Guess there's always next year. No buyers remorse here.😅

If the Administration fails to adhere to the Checks and Balances within the structure of our Democracy as outlined by the Constitution, then they've chosen the Constitution crisis.
White House says judges balking at Trump's actions are provoking a 'constitutional crisis'
The White House says court rulings going against the Trump administration are coming from “judicial activists” on the bench whose decisions amount to a “constitutional crisis.”

Trump is attempting to cut funding for research to fight cancer, Alzheimer’s, and infectious diseases.

As the home of the Mayo Clinic, we know that medical research saves lives.

Minnesota Republicans should stand up for the health and wellbeing of our state.

No one has used #Boycott2025 yet, so I'll start it. Use it to signify your commitment to boycotting any company that bends a knee to the Trump regime and abandoning Diversity, Environment or Equality.

We can have the most significant political movement that doesn't rely on even one act of violence.
