My go-to graphic design guy: Trenor Rapkins ( http://trenorart.webs.com/ ), has designed a new cover for the upcoming Esoteric Edition. I really like the way it came out. [see below]

In related news, he is also putting together a promotional video for the book. I have seen some clips of it and I can say that it is truly amazing. I have no idea when it is going to be finished. I do not want to put it out there until it is time to launch the book. Not sure when that will be.

There is not a lot of politics in my books; however, I felt compelled to make the following exception:

In some countries, most notably in the United States of America, the link between Pauline Judeo-Christianity, politics, big business, and the military industrial congressional complex is especially conspicuous and consequential. Some at the top, who, in previous times were referred to as the “Robber Barons” and “the masters of mankind,” and who are now more commonly referred to as plutocrats and oligarchs, have been able to use this conglomerate for their own advantage. Through the use of “think tanks,” they have devised ways in which to not only foment an environment of moral skepticism (i.e., moral particularism)—especially in regards to honesty and avarice—but convince the general populace to replace their own self-interest, as well as the welfare of the environment, with that of the wealthy corporate elite. By disseminating disinformation (i.e., social constructivism) that exploit the fears, the prejudices, and the ignorance of the people, this faction has been able to take advantage of low-information voters—many of which themselves are abject members of the precariat. The plutocrats execute this reckless and unethical campaign while simultaneously aligning themselves with the cherished symbols of tradition (e.g, Bible; Constitution; flag; etc.) (i.e., the hyperreal simulation), which they use to conceal the sociopathic greed that underlies their patriotic pretense. This stratagem has been, for the most part, surprisingly effective.
