We are all so crazy about desire, we want to fulfill ourselves through desire. But we do not see what havoc it creates in the world?the desire for individual security, for individual attainment, success, power, prestige. We do not feel that we are totally responsible for everything we do. If one understands desire, the nature […]
oh.. it is me, I know that, I’ve known that for the longest time, but what can I do?
Yesterday I did nothing. Well, that’s not entirely correct, of course I did some things, but I didn’t do the things that I have been doing on a daily basis like working on my thesis and re-developing the royby.com back end.

colleges being nothing but grooming schools for the middle class non-identity which usually finds its perfect expression on the outskirts of the campus in rows of well-to-do houses with lawns and television sets in each living room with everybody looking at the same thing and thinking the same thing at the same time while the […]
On the flight from Hong Kong to San Francisco on Saturday I was seated next to a guy from Austin in Texas who was friendly and interested to know where I came from and what I was going to do in the States. He gave me plenty of helpful advice advice about things I could […]
‘I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

Links to Google maps allow us to follow events geographically, plus links to relevant articles, (I’ve included the link to Morrocco below), will only […]
