Sources

Our goal is to provide reliable, transparent, and thoroughly vetted sources that undergird Bullies, Parasites and Slaves. You can follow up directly on every one of them, by link and by reference. A handful of these are still in development, and are labeled “coming soon.”

Vetting and Calculations

Each source undergoes a thorough review process, evaluating accuracy, credibility, and potential biases. Any statistics, data, or calculations included in these sources are rigorously checked to ensure they reflect reality and are based on reliable methodologies, history, science and mathematics. Links and references allow you to check them yourself.

Calculations

Calculations used in the book Bullies, Parasites and Slaves are all fully disclosed in the text, and can be recalculated at will by any reader.

Types of sources

To help more fully reveal the extent of human exploitation, and advance mutual care, we have curated a diverse range of materials, here. Each bolded area links to a list of sources, including those cited in the text of Bullies, Parasites and Slaves.

• In-depth studies and narratives from experts across disciplines, including those who would oppose our conclusions or whose words or actions we find to be reprehensible. It helps to hear what they actually say and do.
• Wikipedia Articles: Crowdsourced knowledge for foundational understanding.
• Academic Sources: Peer-reviewed papers, articles, and research studies.
• Online Sources: Verified websites and articles that address key topics.
• Videos and VR Experiences: Visual and interactive resources to provide immersive learning.

Many sources are also summarized and rated for quality, with labels such as Excellent, Good, Informative but Critical, and Problematic, indicating that caution or critical thinking will be warranted.

Categories

To simplify your exploration, sources are grouped into multiple categories. Some sources may appear in more than one category for ease of reference. This organization helps readers find what they need quickly, whether exploring historical case studies, modern issues, or potential solutions.
