So as per the results of the Poll in the previous post this category came out on top, which I admit surprised me, but pleasantly so, as it means the readership here is of the sort of intellectual caliber I prefer to cultivate.
The “down” side of such a series, from a personal perspective, is that I tend to be extremely results orientated even in my theoretical concepts, so while I think about all sorts of things, from a public effect stance, I prefer to dedicate my energy to things that can or will have an impact.
This is easily verifiable by the fact that all of my non-fiction books have been relatively successful at changing the zeitgeist about a specific topic as well as have been relevant in more than a few people’s lives. The one possible exception (too early to tell so far) is Caveman Theory because I have only released that in a digital version on my own platform and not on Amazon or elsewhere. Even so, given the relatively tiny readership of this blog, the fact I use absolutely ZERO Search Engine Optimisation and the only way it spreads is by people organically promoting it or sharing posts I write, it has so far done okay.
The Face on Mars was a much more impactful book for many people back when it was written at the end of 1995. But because the topic is quite heavily suppressed by the powers that be, (human history, advanced antigravity technology, Nikola Tesla, the Egyptian pyramids, and various other topics that are unavoidable once you realise Mars’s true and undeniable history due to its geology and astronomy) and as such is not widely known in context, a periodic renewal and update of the concepts in it is helpful and it has still affected quite a lot of people’s perspective on the real history of humanity with the more recent update in 2014 too. It is one of the more difficult books to evaluate the impact of because it is only available in paper format from Amazon, and its initial run was pretty much before Amazon existed and did rather well in the traditional book publishing world, even if the publisher was small and now defunct.
The Systema book has done very well over time and remains a fundamental work used by many people around the world to improve their ability not just in Systema but in other martial arts as well as other activities and life in general. I am not merely self-aggrandising when I say this, i het regular emails on this and this is one of rhe more recent reviews even though the book has been out since 2011.
It also is only available on Amazon, but that made easy to track in terms of sales. In fact, I am currently busy writing a second book that I have had in mind for some time, which will be about advanced Systema concepts for people who are already familiar with Systema and/or the concepts I described and explained in this book.
Believe! Is a very short book that can be read in a couple of hours, but has perhaps had the biggest impact of any other book I have written, and its ultimate ripple effect might be far wider than I might ever know. What I am aware of is that well over 100 people, and entire large families have converted to proper Catholicism because of it (that is the Catholicism that existed prior to Vatican II, also known as 1958 Sedevacantism).
The long term impact of this fact alone could potentially be world-changing, so I was very pleased with that somewhat unexpected result. T
he follow up to it, a much larger work stuffed to the gills with exhaustive references is Reclaiming the Catholic Church (in fact the full titles of both books are quite entertaining in and of themselves if you bother to go look at them). This was the weaponised autist version of an in depth look to what Catholicism actually is and what its rules are (we are the only religion that has its dogmas very well defined in a code of canon law that encompasses 2000 years of history and that does not contradict any of the rules laid down over that period. Tens of thousands of documents of the Church were vetted to ensure consistency and continuity with the past to produce it). And as a result explained in detail both what the Sedevacantist position is, why it is irrefutable that Sedevacantists are the only actual Catholics left, and why since 1958 the Vatican has been infested only by Satanists, pedophiles, homosexuals and generally anti-Catholics, as well as why there has been no valid Pope since 1958 and the Novus Ordo is an impostor and fake Church that is the antithesis of Catholicism. This information is now spreading like a wild fire and has resulted in the growth of Sedevacantist numbers to the point that our churches are very often standing room only and filled with younger couples making a bunch of babies. Both books are available on both Amazon (links above) or my e-store for less.
The overall point being made here is that generally speaking, I will write non-fiction with the intent that it has a real and positive effect on the people who read it that is of some meaningful overall impact. Firstly to them, but also to society at large. If more people were aware of real human history, did martial arts and were aware of the quantity and viciousness of the lies presented by its enemies on the actual nature of Catholicism, the world would undoubtedly be a far better place.
My concern with regard to doing a series of posts on how to improve societies around the world at large, is that it would be like howling in a tornado. That is, would it meaningfully affect anyone to really do anything or take any real action? My view is that this is unlikely. That said, if just one or two people go on to actually take meaningful action with respect to it, it is certainly possible that they could spark huge changes in their local, national, or even international arena.
So even if the expected return on investment is extremely tiny (it is zero in monetary terms, I am talking about human life improvement in general) it may be worth doing anyway because if a black swan event happens, it would be awesome.
So… I guess I will begin the series. And I will add a new category and tag for it: Theoretical Models of Society and label them as part 1 through to X. This is just the introduction to the concept but some posts will follow soon on what is a huge topic.
