Current events as of the past few years has revealed the inevitable result of building a society around concepts and ideas that run contrary to nature. The nuclear idea of society, steeped in patriarchy, social Darwinism, speciesism, racism, greed, and narcissism, has unequivocally proven to be an absolute failure, and it shows. Right now we’re collectively reaping the “benefits” of a nuclear society: backlash against common sense and science, money over morality, the destruction of the environment, rampant fear of “other” (be it sex, race, nationality, culture, etc.), and steadily encroaching fascism. This is the same struggle nuclear society has […]

Each of these books transformed me in some way or another. They are vastly different books (one is even a novel), but they share similarities in that they speak of long forgotten truths and the nature of reality. I highly recommend reading every book on this page as a primer on your personal journey of self-mastery. Guaranteed you will learn something profound from each one of them, and you may even have your entire worldviews shifted. Tao Te Ching One of the oldest works regarding the nature of reality, truth, the world around us, and our place. Dated, but stuffed […]

Februdairy is essentially a propaganda stunt pulled by the dairy industry as an answer to Veganuary, a popular vegan movement / charity that challenges people to simply go vegan for the month of January. Of course, as would be expected by the craven meat and dairy industries, Veganuary has been met with plenty of backlash amid its success. Februdairy is just one of the many silly attempts to derail what has become a global phenomenon. The dairy industry, of course, has never been beyond propaganda. All you have to do is look at the “Got Milk?” campaign, which exists to […]

The holidays are fast approaching and you might be scratching your head over what to get the vegans in your life. You might even be one yourself and still not know exactly what to do in a pinch for your vegan friends and family, so we’ve put together a few friendly suggestions. Probably the most important thing to remember when buying for vegans is to not focus too much on food. It’s easy to stuff a stocking full of chocolate and cheese for anyone on a typical Western diet, but it’s not that simple when it comes to vegans. Even […]

The familiar feeling of holiday anxiety might be creeping up as vegans and vegetarians all over the country prepare themselves to deal with conjuring a Thanksgiving meal that both pleases family and aligns with their diet and beliefs. The good news is, everything has delicious vegan alternatives. And I mean everything. If you are new to veganism or plant-based dieting, and have in the past shied away from such concepts as “Tofurky,” you’re not the only one. However, vegan turkey has made enormous strides over the past couple of decades, just like the rest of the vegan meat and dairy […]

College students are facing an increasingly wide variety of mental health challenges, and there aren’t always many outlets for them to seek help, guidance, and answers to the issues they may be dealt with. Serious clinical conditions such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, and even panic attacks are relatively common experiences for college students due to the many new stressors and pressures that come with the fast-paced environment, difficult schedules and course work, societal obligations, and financial management tasks. High school does a poor job of preparing most young adults for college life, and as such, it can become overwhelming. Lighter […]

It’s rare these days for big companies to go out of their way to plant their feet in the ground and take a moral stand, but that is exactly what Nike seems to be doing lately. Most people know Nike as the biggest name in sportswear, but not as a beacon of progressive values. In fact, years ago they came under fire when it was revealed that they, like many other companies, actually utilized sweatshops overseas to make many of their products. This of course is more an issue with capitalism and economics than it is with brand message and […]

There’s a common political phrase that’s always amused me: the “green energy debate.” There are many half-truths and outright fallacies in political discourse, it’s not like that’s a big secret or anything. However, it’s hard to say if there is a bigger example of pure nonsense than arguing whether or not we should be using green, or renewable energy sources. The long and short of it is, we have no choice. For civilization to continue and thrive, we have to break our addiction to fossil fuels. Not only because they are by nature extremely limited, but because of the immense […]

We understand that business is all about the message. This goes for everything from activists who want to make a chance, to solar […]
