Dr. George Byron Koch is the author of Bullies, Parasites, and Slaves, a thought-provoking unveiling of how societies are structured to benefit a few at the expense of many. With a deep commitment to transparency and mutual care, Dr. Koch brings a lifetime of advocacy, leadership, research, writing and teaching to this work.

On his website (link down below) you’ll find links to his articles, books, biography, teachings and art, offering insights into his journey and unique perspective on society, power, and compassion. His writings span diverse topics, all with the same core goal: to encourage fairness, compassion, and justice in our world.

Here’s how he describes himself:

“In virtually every area of life, social, political, religious, scientific, moral and cultural, I have held ideas one way, then changed sides—sometimes more than once. I’ve discovered there aren’t just two sides, but many—and entire areas where no one really has any idea.

The conclusions I’ve reached in my writing flow from decades of observations, decisions, debates, faiths, friendships, skepticism, history, science, people, logic, books, family, travel, and sitting quietly lost in thought. This mix lobbies against easy labels like conservative, liberal, moderate—or any of the thousand other social, political and religious boxes we assign each other as we each try to understand and organize our human experiences in this universe. 

It’s complicated, right?

My alliances and choices over the years have puzzled many partisans of one camp or another: I’ve sided with the one being treated inequitably—even when I didn’t fully agree with them. That will always be the key to understanding my words and actions.”
