Notes from the Underground: Dialogue with a World in Disarray

Writing from the “underground” and attempting to dialogue with a world in disarray represents a twofold problem. But it also represents a twofold challenge. My position in the “underground” should not be compared with Dostoevsky’s narrator in his Notes from the Underground, except as a criticism of governments who, by planning for utopia, disregard the rights of so many of its citizens. I write from the “underground” because I oppose the reigning ideology of the day which is political correctness. To be politically incorrect is to be marginalized from society and seen as a pariah. Nonetheless, even as an underground writer, I still have a voice that can be heard and what I feel is a corrective that can be applied. This work is an attempt to offer ideas that are missing from the popular agenda. It is a compilation of “notes,” rather than a series of lengthy argumentations, offered to people of good will who are disturbed by the incoherence of contemporary thinking and are seeking to place their moral convictions on a more rational, secure, and consistent basis.
