Statement of Principle

Integrity is sacrifice.

If my jewelry breaks under normal use, I will repair or replace it for free. I test every piece. I stand behind my work.

I do not hate corporations. I understand them. That is why I refuse them.

I use corporate platforms only where resistance is meaningless. Amazon already owns book distribution; opting out changes nothing. I will not pay them to advertise my own labor or reward them twice for work they already profit from.

I will not sell my handmade jewelry on platforms like Etsy that charge creators to exist and then take a cut of every sale while assuming none of the risk. That is not partnership. That is extraction.

Most people say they oppose exploitation while quietly living off it. I won’t.

The cost of integrity is staying small, staying poor, and staying free.

I choose direct exchange over algorithmic permission.
I choose authorship over inventory.
I choose refusal.

On My Writing
My books and articles are written to clarify, not to comfort. I separate allegation from evidence, refuse narrative obedience, and treat consensus as a hypothesis rather than a conclusion. I am not interested in persuasion, branding, or ideological loyalty—only in whether a claim survives structure, logic, and proof.
