Welcome to I Will Not Die.
Let me begin by telling you that I am a very driven man. In fact, I may be one of the most driven men you will ever meet in your life. So what exactly am I driven toward? Just so you know early on, it’s not for money, it’s not for power, it’s not for fame. It’s not for a career or even a woman.
I am driven to reach my potential. That potential is largely an intellectual pursuit that came to me as a young man. After a stifling upbringing, I emerged into the world with two primary traits: a sharp mind and very deep passions about the earth. As such, it’s no accident that the only subject in life that ever meant much to me was philosophy, which is, at its most basic sense, the love of wisdom.
In other words, I had a ridiculously difficult childhood, grew up to find that I had some interesting talents, and as a result, am driven to reach my potential despite the difficult origins of my life. To read more about my personal life, you can read my autobiography. (Which, by the way, is one of the most widely read things I’ve written. It’s long, but you may find it very interesting).
So with this blog, I write about pursuing personal potential with great passion. I write articles about things I hope will bring meaning and inspiration to your life. I also write short stories with the aim of explaining, through a kind of poetry, the world in which we live.
I also blog in order to form a community of people who are passionate about pursuing their maximum attainable lives.
As of now, this blog is just a few months old, and so far it’s been extremely successful. It’s now receiving more than 50,000 pageviews every month. I’d like to invite you to be a part of its success and come back often.

If you have deep passions about the Earth, wouldn’t you study geology rather than philosophy?
Talk about missing the point completely, Manny…
(plus the study of philosophy is more likely to include geology, than the study of geology is to include philosophy).
