Thesis: The Soul of Humanity
"The primary focus of the book is to establish that what differentiates Humans from animals is the **Rational Soul**, which is explained in detail, including its scope and nature, as the 'Powers of imagination, data gathering, thinking, memory, and consciousness.' All other qualities within humanity come from the lower existence of the animal, plant, and mineral kingdoms."

Gender equality is not merely a social ideal; it is a mathematical and logical prerequisite for global security. Wars will only cease when women obtain full, equal rights.
Rational Economic Justice

A Plan for World Peace
