Will You Stand and Fight With Me?

By Anthony Dream Johnson in The 21 Convention

Ticket prices to The 21 Convention 2011 increase the night of March 31st 2011 – for both England and Florida events.

Woooooopdeeeeeeeeeedoo?

Woopdedoo indeed.

For when I ask you to register by March 31st, I am not merely asking you to attend an event this Summer – I am asking you to stand and fight with me.

In case you haven’t noticed, The 21 Convention isn’t focused on any one specific topic, but it is focused.

It is focused on everything right in the world, because it is the highest expression of my personal battle, for everything right in the world.

This is the reason why the convention has expanded so rapidly in the scope of subjects involved.

This is the reason why I took my battle across the world to Europe, instead of somewhere else in the American States.

Because my vision for it is much, much bigger than what one country – or even one continent — can encompass.

Remember, this convention, The 21 Convention,…

My College Evolution

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking, Lifestyle Design, Wealth

This is not so much a post as it is a directory of past posts that directly and indirectly express my evolving thoughts on college. They are best viewed in the listed order.

(Orlando btw got to see me on my journey more than almost anyone last Summer. From Munich to Stockholm to Florida, he was there).

Enjoy.

And, if there are new questions about my thoughts on college, they should be posted here, not in the old posts.

ps — Yes, I really did fail “How to Start a Business” at UCF, twice, in a row.

pps — No, I don’t ‘hate’ school by default. I do dislike anything that is stepping outside of it’s proper function and purpose though. Like government. Like school. And…

What Have You Done Today?

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking, Lifestyle Design

From a commenter on Clarifying “Uncertainty over Unhappiness” (link)

Anthony I think this is a story you will like to hear.

 

This happened two days ago. Me and one of my good friends (or so i thought) moved to British Columbia with his money that he had inherited from a relative (90 thousand dollars) . As far as i was concerned it was me and him alone in BC. i didn’t know anyone but him.

 

At first it was all good we had a great time and we partied it up for the first few days. Then we had to look for a place to live and do some serious things. Shit turned sour and me being the friend who had no power what so ever was in grave danger. He was not the person i thought he was, not even close!. So i sucked it up and took the abuse. I would argue and not go quietly over some of…

I’ve updated and simplified the shit out of the reading page. Go check it out.

A New Category: Event Architecture

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Event Architecture

Tim Ferriss’s claim to fame term was “lifestyle design“. Pretty catchy if you ask me.

Well, I have a new one, that I think suits me better, in my journey to conquer the world — to take on the world, and win.

Event Architecture

I am the Chief Event Architect of the #1 convention for young men in the world — not to mention the first, best, and largest. So, it only makes sense that I stake claim to this term — in addition to holding Ayn Rand’s depiction of fictional architect Howard Roark as an extremely, almost eerily accurate description of my self.

This new term is also going to serve as a new category on this blog, as a hybrid between wealth and The 21 Convention. Basically, I am going to start blogging more about what goes on behind the scenes of T21C. What it takes to build, what it took to build, and what it continues to require of me.

I’ll reveal some numbers, and not…

“Striking a Cord With People Around the World”

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking

 

Casey is a hero because he recognized his right to his own life, his own liberty, and his right not to be physically abused by others — and was willing to act in defense of those rights at a young age. We’d all do well to remember Casey when government is the bully /w a gun instead of an idiot 14 year old kid.

Remember, government never has the right to put a gun in your face — enact force — unless and until you intiate force against others first.

This is the non-aggression principle.

Young Casey won, and so can will the men of the mind.

ps — the cord of liberty runs as deep as a cord can run.

Clarifying “Uncertainty over Unhappiness”

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Curtis Noll, Independent Thinking, Lifestyle Design

In my 2010 Stockholm speech I discussed unhappiness and uncertainty, and how I chose uncertainty over unhappiness — when it mattered most, and when I was not getting the details right (when I was screwing stuff up).

I will clarify what I mean by this today — choosing uncertainty over unhappiness.

Clarify because I see it as necessary to get my ultimate point across, because I have come to further understand the gravity of what I was saying … and because I have come to understand that this is one of the greatest gifts my best friend gave me before his death — and that this is an expression of the greatest sensation man can experience.

~~~

When James Galt II chose uncertainty over unhappiness (in regards to a work related decision if I’m not mistaken), little did he know, I think, that in the process of choosing “uncertainty”, he was choosing his own certainty.

He chose to…

I think this will prove pretty interesting. Most of it’s music. A few are really cool videos. I’ll post a brief description when appropriate. Make sure you right click and open in new tab. No way I’m modifying all of these links to do that automatically.
