The Affectionate Display
“Greg Swann has insights into emotion on levels that really make you think. He can pluck that one annoying gray hair with pinpoint accuracy. He is a philosopher of sorts and he says and does what philosophers do. He shakes you to the bone, bumps your cup and lets you see what spills out. You see what you see and he sees what he sees. I’ll bet they are dramatically similar and extraordinarily different.” –Jeff PriceMy favorite job title is Poet. Why? No license, no union, no credentialism. If you can learn, you will. If you can't, you won't waste my time. I grow regardless.
I’m not like you. That’s why you should listen to me. I’m in an empathy of opposites with everyone: All they see are reasons to complain, when all I want to do is dance. I know why we are the way we are and how we can learn to do better with each other – making everything better.
I am fomenting a philosophical revolution that will change everything for everyone in due course. How? By finally fully redeeming Western Civilization.

Disintermediate the ruling class: Read the free book that tells you how to do it.
Disintermediation means cutting out the middle-man, and, by teaching you a new way of thinking about human nature and about your own unique self, the free book Man Alive! puts you in charge of your own philosophical affairs.
The book's objectives are precise and concise: To take the claim of justice away from the state, the mantle of intellectual authority away from the academy and the experience of reverence away from the church. It puts all of those things back where they belong — in your mind. There is no middle-man on truth.

Print | KindleMy other writing isn't collected in one place, but here's a shopping list for finding the best of it:
- Greg Swann writes – fiction and early essays.
- PresenceOfMind.net – a weblog I maintained in the early years of the new millenium.
- BloodhoundBlog – a national real estate weblog I started and contribute to. Much of the content there will be real estate related, but everything I write is focused on the self, and this is best represented in the longer essays.
- SplendorQuest.com – a weblog devoted to celebrating the uniquely human life.

A question for pro-gay-marriage libertarians: Isn’t it well past time to admit you were wrong?
Nothing says ‘libertarian’ quite like the faithful capitulation to Marxist tyranny.Photo by: Ross AngusI don’t pay much attention to libertarians. They start wrong and stay wrong, with politics rather than the underlying ethics of self-adoration, which is why they cough … Continue reading
What is true child abuse? It’s the emotional outrage Stefan Molyneux himself repeatedly endured.
The purpose of defooing is not to induct the defooers into a cult but to inflict what Stefan Molyneux believes to be the most excruciating possible pain upon their parents. His motive is not to help anyone but to kill … Continue reading
We all owe our freedom to fatherhood, but you owe your everything to your parents.
If you’re like me, you never thank your parents enough for all the gifts they gave you when you were growing up, but your humanity itself is the greatest treasure they conferred upon you.Photo by: ErinI have a lot on … Continue reading
Contra Stefan Molyneux on the family: I pity defoo on nihil.
