A Spinozan Framework for Human Power
For readers building steadier habits and a more deliberate working life.
Attention, habits, motivation, and the systems that support action, with philosophical models distinguished from empirical findings.
A Treatise on the Truth of Reality
For readers ready for an extended, systematic encounter with necessity and reality.
Reality treated as one substance: definitions and axioms from Spinoza's Ethics, then 114 corollaries that withdraw covering stories about will, meaning, death, and success. Deductive, empirical, and speculative claims are marked separately.
A Blueprint for Unlimited Upside
For readers weighing opportunities, commitments and the limits of risk.
A practical inquiry into disproportionate returns, bounded commitments, and the limits of risk-taking across work and life.
A Geometric Critique of Strategies, Signals, and Evidence
For readers examining trading methods, evidence and risk in depth.
Trading from the 1960s to the present, plus an extensive part on forex and futures: instruments, contracts and costs, trend following, carry, currencies, commodities, time and flow, portfolio construction, the research factory, operation, and ten blueprints, and a worked examination of the Jegadeesh and Titman momentum paper with a step-by-step implementation, examined through 177 propositions, the Turtle system, prop-firm geometry, and a reproducible comparative laboratory.
Brutal Truths for Navigating Work Without Losing Your Mind
For readers navigating ambition, recognition and organizational life.
Work, ambition, recognition, and independence through a Spinozan account of power, relationships, and organizational constraints.
A Spinozan Treatise on Influence, Manipulation, and Propaganda
For readers learning to recognize persuasion, manipulation and propaganda.
Influence, manipulation, and propaganda treated as ordinary causation: twelve definitions, twelve axioms, and twenty-four propositions, with a documentary dossier on Bernays and a replication audit of the influence literature.
Eighty-One Chapters on God, or Nature
For readers who want a short, poetic doorway into Spinoza.
Spinoza's metaphysics and ethics written in the form of the Tao Te Ching: eighty-one short chapters of verse, each opening on the mystery and closing on the mechanism. Where Laozi and Spinoza disagree, in desire, in not-doing, and in whether anything compensates, the disagreement is kept.
