The essays in Zero Point ask how we distinguish defeat from disaster, and how we confront despair without collapsing into it - questions never more pertinent than the current moment in the wake of electoral victories for authoritarian populists and unceasing news of violent atrocities. The 'zero-point' of the title is ground level, rock bottom, the place to which one retreats and where one regroups.

I believe it is the focus on religion that represents one of the major problems of the First Amendment. If you focus only on protecting freedom of religion, you ignore the other areas of expression, especially the opposite of religion which is atheism. Shouldn’t there be a freedom to unbelief? By ignoring the wider concept of freedom of philosophy, you set the stage for a distorted perspective on freedom of speech. This ignores the freedom of people not to believe as well as the freedom of people to create entirely new fields that are influenced by science and the pursuit of new knowledge...

The Power of the Collective: Collectivism in Philosophy, History, and the Modern World is a sweeping exploration of one of humanity’s most enduring ideas: the belief that we are stronger together than apart.

Order and Obligation: Understanding the Enduring Ideas of Thomas Hobbes explores one of the most influential and controversial thinkers in the history of political philosophy. Written in clear and accessible language, this book examines how Hobbes’s ideas about fear, power, and the social contract continue to shape our understanding of politics, human nature, and the foundations of order.

While the World Watched is a lyrical and contemplative meditation on grief, silence, and the cost of watching without acting.

What if money itself is the root cause of cultural decay, chronic illness, and endless distraction?

Drawing on more than 25 years in digital transformation and IT leadership, Helmut combines personal stories, ...

This book offers a radical rethinking of one of modernity’s most mistrusted concepts. Long associated with manipulation, coercion, and failed utopias, social engineering has often meant the sacrifice of individuality for the sake of imagined harmony. But what if its core idea—deliberate design of social life—could be grounded in ethics, humility, and a deep respect for human complexity? Rejecting both the authoritarian logic of the past and the fantasy of pure spontaneity, this work proposes a mature, humane, and sustainable vision of transformation. One that shapes environments, not people.
