I don’t go to your church.<\/p>\n

I’ve taken to saying that when I run up against some testy quibble based in some arcane branch of human knowledge I care nothing about. I don’t go to your church. I don’t shop at your store. I don’t trade in your currency.<\/p>\n

I’ve spent a big chunk of time this year trying to figure out how to get ideas that seem obvious to me across to people who seemingly cannot see them at all. I’m getting better at this job, but it hasn’t been easy.<\/p>\n

But look at this, from FreeTheAnimal.com: Fifty shades of bleak: Looking for love everywhere it isn’t.<\/a> The comment stream is huge and growing bigger very rapidly.<\/p>\n

Take note of this, which I wrote a couple of summers ago: Yuppie love: The egoist’s guide to mastering the art of frolicking naked with the one you love.<\/a><\/p>\n

There is tons more in my catalog, and tons upon tons upon tons more still to be explored.<\/p>\n

Here is what I see:<\/p>\n

There is a media empire stuffed inside the covers of Man Alive!<\/em><\/a> Think Oprah meets Rodale<\/a> meets Breitbart meets Facebook — a self-sustaining self-help community focused on fully-human values.<\/p>\n

I think there is an afternoon TV show in there, Oprah-ville for real, but there are plenty of other opportunities this side of Sixth Avenue.<\/p>\n

I am a visionary. I am rich, rich, rich in ideas no one knows to care about until I can convince them that they should<\/em> care. But I am rich, too, in ideas that will make a community like the one I’m talking about work — possibly making it all the way to Sixth Avenue.<\/p>\n

There is money to be made here, and not just a little bit. I need an investor, one with a burning urge to incite a media revolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don’t go to your church. But I can show you and everyone how to get to mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
