How We Do and Should Value a Person

KoinBlog, May 31, 2025March 2, 2025

How do we value a person? How should we value a person? The first question concerns what is, the second what ought to be. But to ask them together suggests a hidden third: what is our duty in the face of this question? It is not enough to analyze. The…

Will We Come Together Again?

KoinBlog, May 29, 2025April 6, 2025

The Great Depression taught Americans many things, but one lesson really stands out, not in the numbers or charts, but in the stories that passed from grandparents to grandchildren around dinner tables and porches. It’s the story of people who had very little, and yet gave anyway—of soup kitchens that…

Flotsam; the remains of a shipwrecked life

KoinBlog, May 28, 2025February 19, 2025

The sea does not care. It takes what it wants and leaves the rest to drift. A man can build something strong, something that holds against the wind and the waves, but one good storm can take it all away. Then he is left with what floats—broken beams, a splintered…

The Lonely Crowd and White Collar: A Mirror to the American Soul

KoinBlog, May 25, 2025April 4, 2025

David Riesman’s The Lonely Crowd and C. Wright Mills’ White Collar sit on the shelf like a pair of old photographs—faded, perhaps, but still revealing. They capture America at a moment when the country had stepped into its new postwar prosperity, blinking at the bright lights of mass media, corporate…

Why Economic Collapse Might Be Just What We Need to Survive – Long-Term

KoinBlog, May 24, 2025May 24, 2025

Economic collapse is a phrase that brings to mind images of breadlines, shuttered factories, and desperate faces. It is spoken of as a catastrophe, a specter that must be avoided at all costs. But history has shown that collapse, while painful, is often the necessary breaking point before something better…

From Self-Sufficiency to Community-Sufficiency: Rethinking Preparedness

KoinBlog, May 23, 2025April 4, 2025

I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos about homesteading and prepping lately. Partly because I find the whole idea fascinating—growing your own food, living off the land, being prepared for whatever the world throws at you. But also because, let’s be honest, things are looking shaky out there, and…

Living Beyond Money: Reclaiming the Wealth of a Non-Monetary Life

KoinBlog, May 21, 2025February 17, 2025

Modern life is so entangled with money that imagining an existence without it feels radical, even impossible. We measure success in dollars earned, hours billed, and possessions acquired. Yet, beneath this financial scaffolding, a quieter, deeper economy persists—one of time, relationships, skill, and purpose. Stepping outside the monetary system, even…

Shoshana Zuboff’s seminal work, “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power,” explores the emergence of a new economic order where human experience is commodified for data extraction and profit. Zuboff, a professor emerita at Harvard Business School, meticulously examines how…

The Tyranny of Too Much

KoinBlog, May 18, 2025April 4, 2025

No one would argue that having enough is a bad thing. It’s good to know where your next meal is coming from, to have a roof over your head, to live without constant worry over basic survival. In fact, for most of human history, people dreamed of abundance. More food,…

Gamifying Minimalism – The More You Lose, The More You Win

KoinBlog, May 17, 2025March 1, 2025

What if we made a game where the goal is not to accumulate, but to shed. Not to own, but to free oneself. Not to conquer, but to master the art of enough. In our lives driven by consumption, such a game might seem radical, even subversive. But, it is…
