<\/a><\/p>\n

I will be doing an hour-long presentation on my book Man Alive!<\/em><\/a> at the The 21 Convention<\/a> in Austin. The convention runs from August 17th – 19th, and I will be speaking first-thing in the morning on Saturday, August 18th.<\/p>\n

My topic? Intellectual self-defense amidst the last-gasp collapse of Rotarian Socialism. Not too surprising if you’ve read Man Alive!<\/em> My plan is to go through a number of specious arguments, with examples, showing you how to defend your self from the pandemic deceptions deployed by demagogues to defend tyranny.<\/p>\n

The 21 Convention is put together by Anthony “Dream” Johnson<\/a>. It seeks to “surface, restore, and actualize the ideal in man” — a goal I can heartily endorse. There will be a total of 18 speakers over the three days of the event, including Yaron Brook of The Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights<\/a> and Richard Nikoley of FreeTheAnimal.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anthony Johnson runs his events like Brian Brady and I should run ours, very professional and strictly business. If you want to come see me or the other speakers — with topics ranging from philosophy to politics to health and fitness to sexual relations — you can buy tickets by clicking on this link<\/a>. That’s an affiliate link, which means that I’m getting a piece of the business, if that matters to you. You can buy three-day or one-day tickets, with upsells, but note that the prices go up on July 31st. There will be video of the presentations available for sale after the event.<\/p>\n

I’m interested in doing more of these, if you have a microphone available for me. I’m doing philosophy at the 21 Convention, but there are a lot of topics covered and touched upon in Man Alive!<\/em> that I would like to bring to an audience. As an example, I can do an hour on orgasms that will change your life forever. To see what I can do without an audience — on philosophy, not orgasms — visit the Videocast category at SelfAdoration.com<\/a>. Meanwhile, if you’re going to be in Central Texas next month, come give me a look. I plan to put Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
