About the Author
-
William Schnack is a free thinking mutualist and a truth-seeking pantheist who writes about topics such as cosmology, biology, history, and social philosophy with an emphasis on the emerging capacity for humans to engage with one another voluntarily, consensually, and reciprocally. He considers his views to be non-political and Far Center, taking insight from the Far Left, the Far Right, and everything in between. That is, after all, the very nature of a truth-seeking free thinker.
Schnack has authored five books and a board game, all of which have been released with a Creative Commons license, being mostly free cultural works. Aside from this, William has been a drummer in hardcore punk rock bands and a part-time homesteader, otherwise working regular wage jobs at a vegan restaurant, a Vietnamese sandwich shop, a consumer-owned health food co-op, and a producer-owned urban farming co-op. He eats a majority-vegan diet and lives a near-vegan lifestyle, having had been fully vegan for 10 years but having since taken up raising his own egg-laying fowl and dairy animals, eating lacto-ovo sourced from his own livestock raised on his own smallhold. He continues to boycott the commercial meat, egg, and dairy industry, believing veganism to be the appropriate choice where ecology does not demand otherwise, such as in urban environments.
What is Ambiarchy?
Ambiarchy describes the symbiotic mutualism between anarchists and non-anarchists, and their resulting institutions, which can be equally and simultaneously regarded as models of good government and of anarchy de jure. It is a panarchy synarchically-led by anarchists; paleomutualism for the postmodern condition.
Ambiarchy is established upon the metaphysical premise of Ambitheism

Please Keep an Open Mind and be Polite
While here, I ask that you maintain the proper etiquette of a free and critically-thinking truth seeker. This can be achieved by following this sequence:
- Actively Listen – Read, watch, or listen with the intentions of being able to paraphrase what has been said. This helps to ensure that what has been said is well understood, enough that one may repeat it.
- Suspend Judgment – Before criticizing or dismissing, grasp what is being said in its own context, and what is meant by the speaker. Don’t look immediately for flaws, but focus on comprehending what is being said and what the intentions of the speaker are.
- Critically Think – Consider what has been said, and whether or not it is in line with those things understood to be more fundamental. If so, decide where the adjustment should be made to your beliefs, whether the thing is truly fundamental or not, and if the other thing is right or wrong because of it.
- Silence is Golden – Be impeccable with your word. Don’t share half-baked ideas that will earn you disrespect. Speak only that which is fully fleshed out.
- Make Good Faith Arguments – Address matters as they actually are and as they were intended to be read by the author.
- Constructively Criticize – If you think there is something wrong, criticize with the intentions to be constructive, and offer an alternative to the position you are criticizing. Ask yourself if you are fairly applying your criticism, and if it would also be true if used against you.
- Nonviolently Communicate – Communicate in manners that are not aggressive or attacking toward the individual, but which are open, polite, and considerate, and that address the content instead of the individual.
- Practice Conagnition – If proven wrong, move past the shame, admit it to your own benefit, and allow the new knowledge you replace your old knowledge with to enhance your power and increase your potential.

Don't be a Stranger!

We are all used to being bombarded with misinformation, but it is difficult to sort out what is true from what is not. It is my opinion that people in positions of authority or who have high media exposure are generally untrustworthy, because their merits are not natural and bottom up, but artificial and top down. But these and those who agree with them are the people who we see pushed onto us all of the time, whether it be through selection by statists or capitalists and their agents or, to say the same, through AI (artificial intelligence). We can be fairly certain that such talking heads have been indoctrinated by the system, whether through accredited educational institutions or, to say the same once more, through popular culture.

If you like what you read here, in contrast, treasure it, because you won't find these discussions covered elsewhere in such a comprehensive and cohesive fashion. You should bookmark this blog and visit it often to read and reread the articles. Your other option is to keep caving to more sensational, but less deep, ideas, and giving those attention, time and again, at the expense of what you can learn here, which is very different and much rarer to come across. If you do that enough, you will easily become an automaton for the elites, because "You are what you eat," and your mental diet will be elitist, ruling class propaganda. Here, you can read from the efforts of a working class individual (not a professional or techno-managerial Bobo) who is completely self-educated, and not as thoroughly indoctrinated by state credentialism as most people are, having instead pursued contradicting beliefs to those we have all been force-fed.

Unlike many authors, since I am independent and am not driven by money to do this (nor do I want special interests to control me through a Board of Directors in a nonprofit), I am not pressured to spit out a bunch of sensational or worthless pieces in order to meet a deadline or to generate funds, and, as you might notice, I do not refrain from saying what needs to be said about topics such as sex, race, ethnicity, and the various bogus models of science (such as entropianism, static Earth, the monogenic cult, statism, Marxist and Austrian economics, and LGBTQABDSM). My writings here are not written to impress anyone, but instead as the genuine and authentic expression of the author as produced according to the author's inner inspiration. They are not about current events occurring in the spectacle, such as politics and particular happenings of the culture war, but about matters of perennial concern, such as the laws of Nature that tell us what it means to be a good person living a happy life and how to achieve great things. Unlike the news covered by other blogs, the topics touched upon are of eternal importance to the human story. And I pride myself in living a simplistic lifestyle, subsisting on a simple vegetarian and mostly whole foods diet, avoiding entertainment at all costs, and enjoying basic conviviality and the exchange of ideas and focused work with others, so I don't need to make money doing this-- even if it is a nice idea-- and so don't compromise on my message in order to do so. What you read is what you get, and I think that's a good thing. Don't you?
