A person may believe that he embraces the philosophy of rational selfishness—but still not have control of his thoughts, feelings and emotions. Because of this he acts in an irrationally selfish manner—especially when presented with unpleasant circumstances.
I guarantee that the coming economic chaos will bring out the worst in many people. Jealousy, envy, anger, hate, […]
Beginning with the creation of those wealth destroying entities called the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Income Tax—politicians, altruists, government bureaucrats and the establishment media have existed for one purpose—and one purpose only—to destroy the capitalistic system and “The American Way of Life.” And tragically they have succeeded quite well. As incredible as it […]
In Part 1, I mentioned that you must avoid the social philosophy of altruism. In Part 2, I explained how irrational selfishness in others and yourself is detrimental to your success and happiness. During good times these cause much mischief and mark the beginning of social and personal decline. During the coming economic chaos they […]
In Part 1 I discussed the destructiveness of social altruism and the pitfalls of personal altruism. Irrational selfishness ties in with altruism because altruists need irrationally selfish people.

It is obvious that America has become a nation of individuals who want immediate satisfaction and short-term “solutions.” A perfect example is our current financial crisis-a crisis caused by the easy money policy of The Federal Reserve System. And what is amazing is that the vast majority of the people have supported this shortsighted inflationary […]
Demolishing the myths of existence

Unfortunately there has been a sharp dividing line drawn between […]
Individuals on a spiritual path eventually hear about the virtues of renunciation and non-attachment. They are told or they read that desire causes all pain and suffering. And of course, an attachment to your desires places you on an endless cycle of alternating pleasure and pain. The only solution is to renounce the flesh and […]
Praxeology - The Science of Human Action
