Shadows & Dust & Free Paperbacks or Bust
Hey there, my favorite people in the world.

So…as of today I’m issuing a standing offer. I just ordered two big boxloads of my most popular titles, and it’s my intention to give them ALL away in exchange for honest Amazon reviews. If I run out of a particular title, I’ll buy another boxload. That’s how serious I am.
What do you have to do?

J Edward’s Big Fat Author Video
Hey everyone.
This week, instead of words, I give you video.
About four and half minutes of it.
It’s just me discussing A Door Never Dreamed Of, 101 Questions for the End of the World, and my new super (not anymore) secret project.
It’s also my first video taken in my new apartment…which was less weird than I thought it’d be.
Anyway…please click the link to enjoy my latest video on Youtube:
Oh…and here’s some of my stuff:
Seven Science & Philosophy Questions
Seven Science & Philosophy Questions for Everyone
*
Butterflies
The Butterfly Effect is defined as:
The phenomenon whereby a small change within a complex system can have large effects elsewhere.
In other words, a butterfly making the smallest alteration in the wind might set off a chain reaction causing a hurricane two weeks later on the opposite side of the world.
Or something like that.
Think of an important event that has taken place during your life or the life of someone you know.
Now think about how that event came to be.
What was the butterfly?
*
No Accidents?
Scientifically speaking, everything happens for a reason.
Literally.
Meaning on a physical level every interaction in the universe has a definitive physical cause, no matter how obscure.
And thus, universally speaking, there are no accidents.
No luck.
No true randomization.
But…
Things like human emotions, impulses, and ideas don’t necessarily fit into any standard scientific construct.
Meaning the reasons behind several of humanity’s physical actions aren’t exactly known.
Meaning human activity can disrupt the universe’s interactions.
So are there accidents after all?
*
The Doctrine of Double Effect
There’s a runaway train.
Aboard it are five people.
Thing is: you’re standing at a lever which, if you pull it, will switch the tracks and save the five people.
But…
If you pull the lever, you’ll redirect the train to a portion of the tracks where a woman and her baby are standing, totally unaware of what’s about to happen.
If you don’t pull the lever, five people will die through your inaction.
If you do pull the lever, two people will die due to your direct action.
Which choice is correct?
*
Worth More
For purposes of this exercise, we’re making up a point scale.
We’ll call it the Universal Point System.
The system goes from 0-10. A zero means no value at all to the universe. A ten means the highest possible universal value. A five is somewhere in the middle.
For each of the following, assign a value based on the Universal Point System:
A drop of water
The planet Mars
A single human being
A blue whale
Earth
A star
A galaxy
Gravity
*
Game of Thrones
Choose which king you would prefer to rule the kingdom in which you live:
The Sword: Strong, decisive, militarily powerful, yet prone to rash judgment
The Peacemaker: Calm, benevolent, generous, yet unwilling to take risks
The Lawyer: Highly intelligent, even-handed, able to solve complex problems, yet entirely non-emotional
The Philosopher: Visionary, wise, deeply thoughtful, yet not at all concerned with tradition or religion
And which king would you least want on the throne?
*
Quotable
Which of the following do you believe?
“Words exist because of meaning. Once you’ve found the meaning, you can forget the words.” ~ Chuang Tzu
“Man is the only animal who enjoys the consolation of believing in a next life. All other animals enjoy the consolation of not worrying about it.” ~ Robert Brault
“The tighter you squeeze, the less you have.”
“The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” ~ Niels Bohr
“You have to do it by yourself. And you can’t do it alone.” ~ Martin Rutte
*
If it Hasn’t Happened by Now…
If, in the entire history of humanity, no one has yet been visited by someone from the future, does that mean time travel won’t ever be invented?
*
* * *
These questions and many, many more appear in my book, 101 Questions for the End of the World.

101 Questions for the End of the World is here

Think Socrates meets Stephen Hawking, Plato meets Carl Sagan, and that’s kinda sorta what it’s like.

Preparing You For the End of the World
A part of me is ever optimistic.
Another part of me…not so much.
I’ve always hoped for more out of the universe. And what I mean by more is that I want a greater meaning. A deeper understanding. The ability to one day, even if after my own death, to pull back the curtain and see what’s really going on.
I want to know.
Let’s clarify.
I want to know everything.
So do you.
Probably.
And that’s the problem, isn’t it? For though we may spend our entire lives learning, relearning, and discovering, we’ll never know it all. Even our greatest scientists and philosophers won’t ever be able to sit back with a comfortably complete understanding of reality. Not even close. And odds are, no matter how much some of us pine for a divine afterlife, it’s neither probable nor scientifically likely we’ll get one. I admit; I could be wrong about that. I hope I’m wrong. I’d love to sit on a cloud eating chocolate and strumming a harp.
But to be pragmatic, hope is a mistake.
Which means most of us will have about eighty years to learn as much as we possibly can. About life. About the world. About the entire universe. If we’re wise, we’ll cram those eighty years like it’s the night before a big exam. Because we’re going to encounter a ton more questions than answers. And we’re going to dream far more than we’re able to do.
And then, at the end, our knowledge and wisdom will leave us.
Probably.
And that’s ok.
Sort of.
If this is it, if our lives are to remain full of questions and theories and small discoveries followed by more questions, so be it. Maybe it really is all about the journey, and not all about how things begin or end.
Maybe.
Someday, a hundred-thousand generations from now, the accumulation of human knowledge and wisdom might reach a critical mass. We might grasp the nature of everything, and we might render conversations like this obsolete. Wondering might no longer be a thing. Questions might go extinct.
But it’s not happening soon.
And certainly not during my lifetime.
In reading books from my Coffee Table Philosophy series, one might be tempted to assume a certain arrogance on my part. It might appear as though I think I’ve got the right answers, and that I’m asking questions from an attempted position of know-it-all.
Rest assured.
I’m not.
My view is and always has been that I don’t know anything. I dead serious. Beliefs and opinions and theories are swell things to have, I guess. It’s human nature to possess them, to use them in conversations, and sometimes even to employ them as weapons.
But not for me.
Not ever.
I guess what I’m saying is: even though hope is a mistake J, I hope the fact that you’re here means you subscribe to a similar philosophy.
The philosophy of:
It’s ok not to know.
It’s ok to admit ignorance.
It’s perfectly acceptable to ask questions for which there are no knowable answers.
In fact, it’s almost criminal not to.
Right?
* * *
So anyway, I guess what I’m getting at is…
…in a few days I’m releasing the final book in the Coffee Table Philosophy series.
It’s titled 101 Questions for the End of the World. And it’s not really like the other nine books in the series. You can Preorder it right here.
I mean…it has questions, but instead of ice-breaking, take to a party full of tipsy people, improve your love life-type questions, it’s full of deadly serious inquiries. Think Socrates meets Stephen Hawking, Plato meets Carl Sagan, and that’s kinda sorta what End of the World is like. It’s for science buffs, outer space lovers, old world philosophy fans, and serious truth seekers. In this book, I ask readers about all of life’s greatest mysteries, and I await your answers.
Look…instead of trying to explain it all, I’ll just give you three sample questions.
Go nuts:
* * *
Izms
From the following, choose which one(s) you associate with your personal philosophy of life:
Cynicism – The purpose of life is to live with virtue and in harmony with nature (not what you thought it meant, is it?)
Agnosticism – Humanity knows nothing beyond that which it can touch
Pragmatism – The most valuable things are tangible and practical
Hedonism – Life’s purpose is to pursue pleasure
Capitalism – Life’s purpose is accumulate wealth for the benefit of yourself and your family
Theocentrism – God is a central fact of our existence
Nihilism – Life is without objective meaning, purpose, or value
Existentialism – The universe is unknowable, yet humans still have individual purpose and responsibility
*
Butterflies
The Butterfly Effect is defined as:
The phenomenon whereby a small change within a complex system can have large effects elsewhere.
In other words, a butterfly making the smallest alteration in the wind might set off a chain reaction that causes a hurricane two weeks later on the opposite side of the world.
Or something like that.
Think of an important event that has taken place during your life or the life of someone you know.
Now think about how that event came to be.
What was the butterfly?

Cartesian
“If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” ~ Rene Descartes
It’s a pretty powerful statement.
Do you agree with it?
Why or why not?
* * *
So there you have it. I hope you’ll dive deep into this new book. I hope it educates and entertains you. And I hope, when you’re done, you review the hell out of it on Amazon.
*
Get ready to science the shit out of yourself.
Oh, and I also wrote a ton of fiction books.
Books for your Brrrrrrrains!
The rumors are true…
In the Coffee Table Philosophy series, you’ll find something for everyone.
Girls. Guys. Party-throwers. Lonely philosophers. Optimists. Pessimists. Conversation-starters. And deep, dark thinkers.
It’s all here. A book for every coffee table in the world.
*
10 books.
10 different types of questions.
Let’s have a look:
*
101 Questions for Humanity is the original book in the Coffee Table Philosophy series. The questions are short, direct, and easy to grasp. It’s ideal for starting conversations during parties (and it served the author well in breaking the ice with people at the local tavern.) Here’s a sample.
Next up is 101 Deeper, Darker Questions for Humanity, which took the concepts of the original book and added a layer of complexity. Generally speaking, the questions in this book are longer and more in-depth. Here’s a deep, dark sample. 🙂
After the original coffee table book came two specially-tailored editions, 101 Questions for Women and 101 Questions for Men. It’s true; readers of both sexes will find enjoyment in either book. For most of the questions, you can substitute ‘man’ for ‘woman’ and vise versa. The Women’s book focuses on love, relationships, and children, but also flips the script and discusses a few darker topics. Men get a focus on war, politics, and sex. Sample questions for the Women’s book are here.
When originally written, 101 Questions for Midnight was planned as the final book in the series. It’s chock full of questions about sex, life and death, good versus evil, and other topics. The questions are generally dark and adult-themed. A sample arrived in the popular blog 10 Things to ask yourself Tonight.
After the author thought he maybe, might have, possibly concluded the Coffee Table series, he released this compendium, 444 Questions for the Universe. It includes the entire first four books in the series (Humanity, Midnight, Men, and Women) and adds in 40 bonus Questions from Beyond. It’s a mega-bargain, having four and a half books worth of questions for the price of only one and a half of the original tomes. It looks super sharp on any table, containing more than enough questions to keep parties going for hours.
After the original series ended, 101 Sex Questions arrived on the scene. The title says it all. Geared for adults (and especially couples) this book is full of games, quizzes, and challenges to ramp things up above and in-between the sheets. While not super-graphic, it pulls no punches. Definitely for the 18+ crowd. Just read the samples to find out for yourself.
After 101 Sex Questions, the direction of the series became obvious. Inspired by too many nights out at the club (and too many lost phone numbers) 101 Questions for Single People teamed up J Edward Neill and Jaylene Jacobus for a look at single life from both sides of the modern battlefield. A tiny sample of what you’ll find in this book is right here.
And of course it’s only fair that if you’re going to do a book about Singles, you have to do one for Couples. This book is definitely the most bubby, cheerful, and light-hearted in the entire series. It’s meant for couples to take on vacations, road-trips, or pretty much anywhere lovers might have a few moments alone. Get to know your partner better with 101 Questions for Couples! (Sample questions here and here.)
Possibly the final Coffee Table Philosophy volume, J Edward’s 101 Questions for the End of the World has finally arrived. It’s far different than the previous entries in the series, with questions focused on science, astrophysics, theory, religion, and old-world philosophy. Think Stephen Hawking mixed with Aristotle. The questions are 2 – 3 times longer than ever before, and they’re deadly serious. So put your thinking cap on and get ready to science the shit out of yourself.
🙂
101 Questions for Couples!
On a road trip together.
During a romantic dinner at home.

10 Things to Ask Yourself Tonight
The following 10 questions are straight from my philosophy/ice-breaker book, 101 Questions for Midnight.
I hope you enjoy them.
If so, considering answering a few in the comments section below, via Facebook, or on Twitter.
* * *
Absolute Freedom
Imagine a society in which there are no laws.
You can do anything without fear of legal retribution.
Consider, of course, so can everyone else.
What things would you do that are currently illegal?
Realistically speaking, is such a society even possible?
Invulnerability
If you could choose to become utterly and forever immune to being offended, would you?
Algebra of the Heart
Complete the following equation:
________________ + ________________
= Love
Play the Percentages
Define exactly what percentage of each day you’d like to spend doing the following things:
Sleeping
Being alone
Having sex
Spending time with friends and family
Working
The Small of a Woman’s Back
Define what it means to be sexy.
Assumptions
Most humans make swift judgments about people they’ve newly encountered, even if subconsciously.
With that in mind, what judgments would you make after seeing:
A woman in a slinky dress
A man listening to obnoxiously loud music in their car
A woman covered neck to ankle in tattoos
A man yelling at his child in public
Arbeit Macht Frei
An ancient Japanese samurai once claimed, “Everyone should personally know exertion as it is known in the lower classes.”
His point is that for humility’s sake, every human should perform hard labor to some extent during their lives.
Do you feel this is true?
Can hard work free the mind of some of its troubles?
