Corrupt and Integral Tradition present the hottest book on radical environmentalism this year:

Pentti Linkola's "Can Life Prevail?"

Pentti Linkola - Can life prevail?

Order your copy at Amazon

Readers' comments about the book:

Environmentalism does not make sense when approached from most angles. Linkola's version makes perfect sense.

Linkola's cry, "Can Life Prevail?," does not just ask the question--it provides us with an answer to how we can win.

His flavor of radical environmentalism deserves a hearing and wider audience.

I don't agree with a lot of what he says but Linkola deserves to be respected for his honesty.

To All Female Entrepreneurs: Stop Whining

Here's from someone whose testosterone levels run high, but whose lack of self confidence spells failure:

Most venture capital and angel investment tend to go to a specific breed of entrepreneur - innovative, well networked, intelligent, confident … male. Is this the result of deep-rooted discrimination or is this simply an issue of supply and demand? Women-owned businesses are largely under-capitalised and this leads to inhibited growth.

Media coverage of women starting their business from the kitchen table in an area they have always enjoyed as a consumer, all while working flexibly caring for children, certainly predominate both online and offline media. Such stereotypes, while important for their inspiration, simply reinforce a narrow concept of women’s enterprise. “Women’s enterprise” is often acknowledged as one homogenous group with little market segmentation. Is this ignorance or because it is a market not considered to be worth pursuing?

I don't have a problem with women becoming entrepreneurs, but girls, if you're going to do this, please stop whining. It makes you look weak and helpless. Don't blame your lack of success or domination in the field on men, discrimination or other silly ad hoc excuses. If you insist that the Nanny State has to promote you to the top, you're essentially saying you're incapable of doing what you claim equality gave you the ability to perform just as well as men.

Your excuses are hilarious. Either you rise to meet the demands or you don't.
