religious systems of all kinds and varieties, mythology, trance induction, "rosicrucianism" [like Hermeticism and Gnosticism, somewhat pop cultarized and misunderstood thanks to the repressed-christian lens of the 19th century occult revival movement and groups such as the HOGD that erroneously claimed lineage to a living tradition], iconography, military history strategy theory and tactics, the scientific method, physics, open source software, literary criticism, political economy, surfing, writing, strength conditioning, industrial culture in general, the platformist tradition within anarchist-communism, software piracy ["property is theft", and by property what is meant is that which has relevance to the means of production and distribution, not menial personal possessions], intellectually shredding the right wing along with supporters of feudal theocratic regimes backed by the CIA such as the Free Tibet movement, neo-Platonism [from the Pythagorean line of transmission], Daito Ryu Aikijuijtsu + Kobujitsu, Shorinji Ryu, Yang Tai Chi Chuan, Bagua Zhang, Qi Gong, Chin'a, self-discipline, psychoanalysis of a variety of schools including Jungian, Ericksonian and Gestalt... some things that can't be put into words.

Books:
Where to begin...
I won't. Here's a quote from a militant of the Iron Column, reprinted in the FAI's Valencia publication, Nosotros, during the Spanish Civil War. The title of the full article is "A Day Mournful and Overcast":
"Life has more to teach men that all the theories and books combined. Those who would put into practice what they have learned from others via books deceive themselves; those who would put into books what they have learned along the winding path of life are perhaps in the process of creating masterpieces. Reality and dreaming are two different things. It is good and beautiful to dream, for dreams are nearly always an intimation of what must be, but it is sublime to render life beautiful, to take life and fashion from it a true work of beauty.

"One day I happened to read, where or by whom I can no longer say, that one could not have an exact idea of the earth's roundness without having travelled around it, measured it, run ones hands over it, in short discovered it. Such a claim seemed ridiculous to me; however that short sentence so imprinted itself in my mind that now and again, during my forced soliliquies in the solitude of my cell, I came back to it. To the point that one day, as if I too had discovered something marvellous until then hidden to other men, I felt the joy of having discovered for myself that the earth was round. And on that day, like the unknown author, I travelled around, measured, and ran my hands over the earth, my imagination lit up with the "vision" of the earth turning in endless space, part of the universal harmony of the worlds.
