Note: This book also tackles broader, related topics.

Summary

The contemporary pro-life movement seeks to end abortion by means of an inherent violation of the non-aggression principle. This creates a scenario in which abortion thrives. Therefore, the a non-violent (anti-violence), non-aggression movement must take its place if decriminalized abortion is to "end." The right to life is best secured by a stateless, voluntary government, based on rational self-government of the individual. State-type systems always serve to increase both death and murder rates, and to defeat murder a super-strategy of complete rationality-based sacrificial integrity must be adopted. All else is unrealistic, irrational, and pro-death. (with the most comparable strategies being less effective)
*All the above statements will be fully and comprehensively proven using sound reasoning, etc. methodology outlined in the Logic-Reasoning-Science book.

Outline

Sections:

Intro: "I'm too offended to read this. And I'm too busy besides."

3 questions: What is it? What's going on? What to do about it?
-Embryology
-SLED
-Morality and strategy.

A brief into to moral philosophy.
-The necessary comprehensive rationality foundation.
-Natural law and "natural rights." (+ the is-ought false dichotomy... and the pro-life implication of the solution!!!)
-The non-aggression principle.

Social movements: bringing justice to a larger scale?
-Breakdown: Pro-choice rhetoric, Pro-abortion, Pro-life
--*Comparing and contrasting.
-"I totally stopped reading this book-- how could the pro-life movement actually be as pro-abortion as pro-choice movement?" A brief introduction to the Hegelian dialectic in practice: proof that both pro-life and pro-choice movements are the allies (or pawns) of the continued growth of abortion, euthanasia, ESCR, etc. in a state-run context. (the state is violence/chaos/a death cult/pro-death)

Comparative (mostly U.S.) history of the pro-life movement, highlighting pro-life strategies, their implementation and effect, contrasting "pro-choice" strategy and their effects (esp. on abortion):
-Pre-1967
-1967-->1986 Eugenics-->abortion
-1986-->1994 The Life and Times of Operation Rescue
-1994-->2009 (or whenever year I publish final draft-- present day) The contemporary debate.
*My personal observations/research. (go into the implications of what I found in a later section)

The missing history:
*Coercive monopoly extortion rackets, libertinism, and human nature.
-Indirectness: how we slaves forge our own bonds, and keep one another in bondage, and from "running off the plantation."

Aside: movement counter-movement dynamics.
-The dominant movement and the "sect": how the diaprax destroys true justice in *every social movement*.
-The fallout: defeatism, willful ignorance, busied ignorance, complacent distractedness, ambivalence to action, exaggerated false victories, and the continuing silent occupation.

Putting it all together:
-Work justice, rather than asking others to.
-The truth about "the culture war": 1) not a war at all, but a silent occupation. 2) Divide and conquer. 3) Social and global "interdependence," or how the tentacles of the octopus invade every orifice. 4) Corporatism's role: big business, small business, non-profits, ("being in bed" with the state vs. "making out behind the gym"), and the necessary alliance of libertinism and the state.
-Why "pro-life" is pro-choice is pro-abortion, and how the pro-life movement cannot succeed as is.
-How a child is not an adult: "pro-life" is the child, "non-aggression" is the adult.
--Why an injustice system cannot be turned to justice; why an anti-government can never become just government.
--The inherent deliberate ignorance involved in all 3 positions, and the solution: comprehensive rationality and Outcome Thinking.
-The real war: libertarianism vs. libertinism. (cf. Treatise on Non-Aggression and the ideological state)
*The cost of opportunity (opportunity cost and "combining strategies"); the narrow path of applying principles.

Suggested strategy: real war, fighting death with life.
-AnCap libertarianism, and the comprehensive foundational human rights pro-justice anti-movement. (anti-statism/market anarchism)
-"Isn't that too extreme?" Moral integrity in the land of complacency. // The practicality of philosophy // The irrationality of compromise.

Appendix: FAQ
-->The point of the FAQ is to handle *every possible objection* to all the points I make in the book. (mainly, so I don't have to make this book # times longer, and can stick all the questions into a conveniently organized (like RA's PYA book!) segment, so when people have a Q, they can skip to this page (keep it open in another tab while you read!), referring to it whenever they have a specific objection.
-Maybe eventually I can list "see FAQ # 43, 56, and 72 for common objections," at certain points in the book or even skipping all that, and merely listing a number (like wikipedia for citations) that links directly to the FAQ, describing in the FWD/Intro which are citations, which are FAQ links, and why I chose that format. (I think it is simpler just to say all that in the intro, and then just list a set apart number in the text, so that I don't have to write any words; it will all be known if they read the intro-- Just state at the beginning of the intro that this book is formatted a bit differently, and so therefore this intro is necessary.

The Most Lazy Way - a tragicomical practical guidebook for life, and counterpropaganda primer. (to seek the truth, you must first recognize and counter falsehood. To live the truth, one must eliminate living according to falsehood in ones life)

Summary: the way we characterize (or mischaracterize) the principles of life changes everything. So much falsehood holds us back, obfuscates our understanding, and does violence to ourselves and our relationships that it's not funny-- so of course the best way to start thinking about such is through a book of humor!

So here it is! Combining the strengths of my personal presentation of being both serious and joking at the same time to mutual extremes, and coming out the other side clean. Laughter really is the best medicine, so here's the funtastic generalized counterpropagandistic facts of life to save you much pain, time, false starts, and mental health bills (among others).

Outline

Sections:

Note: come up with relevant chapters for each section, and key point subsections for each chapter.

The Most Selfish Way

The Most Successful Way

The Most Pleasing Way
-Why intensity isn't pleasure.
-Why pleasure can be derived from intensity. (plus the important difference between the two, and what considerations of such reality prescribes for approaching life-- go full natural law based ethical egoism!!!)

The Fastest Way
-Patience

Other:
-The Most Sustainable Way
-Etc. other virtues shown in how these areas synergize.

Summary (1 Cor. 12:31): A More Excellent (Most Effective) Way -- Paul's words of love (commitment) in comprehensive context.
-How this entire book shows the power of commitment (love) of truth (God). This is what makes love the greatest virtue of them all, because the unwavering commitment to truth is what allows this transformation to take place in the first place.

Appendices:
-What about others? (contrast the selfishness-selflessness false dichotomy, and point out the Stephen Covey and Ayn Rand citing true characterization [i.e. the reality] of principle-centeredness vs. self-centeredness [indeed, the principle-centered life is indeed the *most selfish*, due to its effectiveness-- 7 Habits of Highly *Effective* People, indeed!)
-How in the world have things become so mischaracterized?
-Propaganda, and the story of the enemies of rationality.
-Rationalism (counterfeit rationality; using the words of rationality to describe blind dogmatism and irrational response; irrational skepticism): the most deceptive, the most infectious, the greatest enemy and blocker of genuine rationality, and the deadliest.
-Extortion (fraud/usury): the most widely ignored.
-Destruction (bitterness, vengeance, emotionalism, murder, addiction, et al irrationality): the most direct.
-Complacency (apathy, hypocrisy, compromise -- willful ignorance, unadjusted obfuscation [the fog of human limitation not constantly and proactively attacked/compensated for]): the opiate of sinners. And how *truth* (seeking and living all-Truth with consistency) really *is* the anti-drug!
*Note: Devil as the "father of lies" (falsehoods), coming to kill, steal, and destroy: that is precisely where those 3 end up coming from. Satan's strategy doesn't change, and any one of us can be his servants, which is why we must continually counter the false characterizations with these true ones.

Key Outline Point:
*Take what is traditionally (and/or popularly) thought of as (or oft mistaken for) vices, and show how they are *actually* the *best* virtues!!!
-i.e. we mischaracterize, and that's why we screw up, so have fun with this and seek the most lazy way!

Ⓐ Gabriel Koulikov

I've long been trying to bridge the sort of abstract notion of "spiritual warfare" to practical actions we can actually do to hinder/destroy Satan's kingdom, and "do God's will on Earth as it is in heaven," to coin a phrase.

The present form of this assessment is what I'm calling "art-science-war," which is what I have come to determine are the 3 major overlapping areas of this life.

Got your attention yet?

While the general principles are applicable to everyone's life, certain specifics must be determined by the individual themselves applying these principles to their strengths and circumstances in life. Stephen Covey describes this process fairly in-depth in his book The 8th Habit.

As to the general, several books have made attempts (including Covey's previous book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People), but *every* approach I've noticed missed something so important that, from a Christian perspective, makes them blasphemous. And that is, the most obvious thing: seeking and applying all-Truth.

(There's a counter-propaganda aspect to this "missing piece," too. The only counter to propaganda/conditioning/cultural myths/idolatry is total commitment [i.e. love-- agape] to rationality [the process by which humans, as both creatures and spirit beings, get closer and closer to the Truth, which is God/Christ])

Gandhi called this satyagraha (grasping for truth); God named His own people after it: Yisra'el (he struggles with God)-- all attempts ended up being hypocritically applied, except by a select few, His elect.

In any case, I want it to be applied by everyone. *This* is the army I'm trying to raise up. Not to work for me, but for God-- and in that vein, hopefully coordinate with me (and each other-- I should say, with each other, including me).

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God is truth. Truth is God. That is my only premise.

Picture this: an upside-down pyramid.

Objective truth is the foundation stone.

Layer 2: the laws of logic.

Layer 3: sound reason.

Layer 4: scientific interpretive methodology. *(note at bottom)

Top layer: comprehensive practical application.

I don't know if you've ever scene cross-sections of what's inside those concrete columns that support bridges, but they have these braided metal chords running up through them to increase stability, or some such. The 3 cords running through each of these layers are the 3 rules for approaching reality I have posted everywhere: always demand consistency, always insist on data plus context, never settle for less than optimality. (these are also very deliberate, and help to stifle faulty reasoning)

This set up, I have come to believe that *this* is the solid-rock foundation Christ said will make whatever house is built on it withstand any storm.

So, it is my life mission now to educate people about this, and to prove it works by living my life accordingly, and reaping the benefits.

That's all.

Then as people begin to adopt and apply such a foundation in all areas of their lives, they will be the art-science-warriors (the workers of the harvest) that we need to win this war (reap God's harvest-- "the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few" kind of deal).

This book simply extrapolates God's Way of seeking the Truth found in the Bible worded into normal-people language, to show the extreme practicability of the Bible-- it's not about magic word mysticism, or defense of doctrine, but a very practical program for all-Truth seeking designed to transform the human organism in a total spiritual way via deliberate cognitive process into a fully responsible spiritually expressive artistic, science-type warrior moral beauty and power, the most powerful force to change the world by living all truth in all areas of life-- Truth, Who is a Person, the very foundation of what is good.

This is the only way to "save the world" in a way that lasts. This book heuristically proves that case, and shows you how to get involved in this salvation for yourself, as defined by God, not men (nor churchmen).

*Sabbath (seventh) day in the Bible*

The Sabbath day is the main biblical holiday, and is part of the Ten Commandments. The details the Bible gives on the Sabbath day are numerous:

Regarding work:
-Do no "customary work".
-Bake and boil whatever food requires such preparation the day before whatever you want to eat on the Sabbath.
-Do not gather resources for anything other than immediate use. (link: the man gathering sticks vs. the disciples eating from the grain)
-Do not buy; do not sell.
-Violation of such work details by any of those God commands to keep the Sabbath was punishable by the community putting that person to death.

Regarding rest:
-Labor to enter into God's rest.

Regarding assembly:

Regarding its relationship to the rest of creation:
-This is how God creates.
-A sign between God and His people forever. (link)
-We are still in the seventh day of God's rest from creation.
-There is a rest of God His people are to labor to enter. (implication: to rest the seventh day, we must labor the other six days)
-It's alright to do good to others, and this does not violate Sabbath restrictions. (love your neighbor, heal/save a life, etc.; implication: not doing any other work for yourself or others)

Other Sabbaths:
-Work the land 6 years, on the 7th year you are not to plant or gather produce from the land. (promised land?)

Other/misc.:



Summary:

The Bible seems to set aside working, etc. on that day in order to better allow one to focus on God and to reflect on what one is doing with one's life, and to reflect on how you are doing it. The Bible specifically says it is to be observed by God's people forever, it is one of the Ten Commandments, and Jesus and His disciples always observed the Sabbath (note: that whenever others criticized Him for violating the Sabbath, He explained how He was in reality observing it).

Specific examples:
-Man who was gathering resources on the Sabbath.
-Jesus healing. (many links)
-Jesus' disciples picking grain for immediate consumption.

*New Moon in the Bible*

The New Moon is one of the holidays ("appointed times") God commands His people to observe in the Bible. The details the Bible gives are that the New Moon:

1) Marks the first day of the month biblical month.
2) The celebration is to begin with a feast.
3) God's people aren't to buy, sell, or trade.
4) Is sometimes a 2 day holiday.
5) Was a time some in the Bible used to discern God's will from a prophet of God.
6) Entails sacrifices performed to God. (superseded by Yeshua's blood sacrifice and subsequent destruction of the temple, and the Holy Spirit's command to live as a living sacrifice)
7) Is a time for the shofar trumpet to be blown.
8) Is to be celebrated forever.
9) Is to have Messiah as its primary focus (as He relates to the individual's place in His body and spiritual growth), RATHER THAN the observance of the festival itself. (details)
10*) Warnings against complacency (apathy, hypocrisy, compromise) concerning the celebration of the New Moon, as well as against knit-picky judgments concerning how it is observed by another.
-All biblical references contained in top link: personal examples and explicitly defined instances have been integrated together to compile this list.

Unlike the Sabbath, there is no biblical prohibition against working, but like the Sabbath, there is a biblical prohibition against buying and selling. As no further specifics are given in the Bible, only need meet the above conditions minimally celebrate this biblical holiday.

Like the dietary laws and the Sabbath, the New Moon holiday's primary purpose is to better focus the individual's life on Messiah, the individual's place in His body (i.e. the greater Christian community), and the individual's spiritual growth. (See point 9 above)

Orthodox Jews recognize a 1 day New Moon when the previous month has 29 days, and a 2 day New Moon when the previous month has 30 days. (a lunar month as measured in the Bible has 29.5 days) This is consistent with the Bible.

Points of interest:
-The Bible lists the celebration of His Holy days as one of the reasons He created the moon in the first place. (link)
-All of the annual holidays are defined in terms of their relation to the New Moon.
-An extra month, and therefore extra New Moon Holiday, is added at the end of the year every 2 or 3 years to calibrate the biblical lunar-based monthly calendar with the solar-based yearly calendar.

Alright; it's been a long time since I've really written anything for public consumption. (really, for anyone's consumption)  So, my writing skills are probably more than a bit rusty.  But, as has been pointed out time and again, the only way you can keep a skill sharp is with practice.  So I have decided to begin writing what I see as my main life's work NOW.  It's been way too long since I've had the original idea, and with my steadily deteriorating writing skills, my more and more careful selection of those with whom I choose to associate, and general screweduppedness being ever at my door at this time in my life, thereby bringing the main topic of this book to the forefront, I have decided to write a little bit of this 3 volume set every day.  Maybe I'll do a chapter a day; maybe brainstorm on a certain idea/topic; definitely ask around about topics people would be interested in me writing about.

The 3 volume book set is about SAVING THE WORLD.  Like, really doing it, not just talking about it, not just espousing theories, but real, practical AND testable AND proven methodology for actually accomplishing this goal.  No making excuses about how impossible it is, nor engaging in wishful thinking, or foundationless/contradicted-by-the-in-context-facts idealism, but an actual, comprehensive approach which an potentially work in any society (with, obviously, practical examples from/application to our own), and which the author by the grace of God will live out

All I will say for now is that the reader keep in mind that the author believes this society in which he now lives (U.S., and largely global now, yet somewhat extending to all human society in general) is the most corrupt society in all of human history.  In many ways, it is because of our supposed "advancedness" that this is the case (ex: standing on the shoulders of giants has allowed us to see farther, and we've allowed this vision to be used to all the better destroy ourselves, whatever other relative 'good' may also be being done), but it is better for me to get into this in the book.

I will only start with writing parts of these 3 books; I will eventually also have other works here, organized via a table of contents like my (link)fiction blog().  Most of what I have to say is intended for everyone; is that to wide an audience for any one work?  Should I instead several pieces on the same topic, one for every aspect of society?

Oh; and I should put down here specifically WHY I'm writing all this stuff, too.  A better intro to this site is to come eventually.  For now, the WHY: to create some sort of framework for me to live my own life that is clearly stated/defined, and to share what I have learned about life that is significant enough to share with others, so we can all avoid some of the more avoidable mistakes, and maybe even get somewhere objectively preferable that we've never yet attained.  Yeah; better wording will definitely have to come at some point!

I may not personally respond to all the feedback, but as much feedback as possible (and as high quality feedback as possible) is very much solicited, encouraged, and appreciated.  So read about it, and talk to me!
