Paradox Philosophy





Hey there,

My name is Cody Allen and I’m an actor, writer, and music producer. When I was 18 years old, I moved across the country from Massachusetts to Southern California to double major in theater and creative writing at the fabulous University of Redlands. I have since settled in sunny Los Angeles and love it here.

I recently published a book of philosophy titled Paradox Philosophy, about how we might embrace the paradoxical nature of our lives. It is available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and everywhere books are sold.

The next project I’m working on is a childhood memoir about growing up in rural Massachusetts with lesbian parents. I hope to have it published and available by summer 2026!

Jeannette Walls was raised by an alcoholic father and an emotionally absent mother and her memoir is a powerful story about growing up poor in America. The fact that she and her siblings managed to grow into functioning adults and have successful careers and love lives is a true testament to the resilience of the American spirit.โฃ

At the age of 36, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. He was nearly finished with his residency and on the cusp of becoming a neurosurgeon when it was all taken away in a cruel twist of fate. He spent the remaining months of his life writing this memoir, which is a beautiful exploration and reflection on his life, on medicine, and on mortality.โฃโฃ

Many of us believe that information is the road to truth: the more of it we have, the faster we can travel to our destination. Harari dispels us of this idea, writing with great detail and providing many examples of his notion that information is meant to connect us. Truth seeking, it turns out, is associated with our ability to self-correct.โฃ
.โฃ
Democracy and totalitarianism both use information networks to balance truth and order. Democracies have more truth, because they are decentralized and can self-correct, while dictatorships have more order, because they are centralized. Different information networks have enabled different governments to govern in different ways, and they will continue to do so with the advancements in AI. However, never before has an information network also been able to create and disseminate new ideas without human input. What does this mean for our future?โฃ

This is a memoir about a man who grew up in a Mormon family in rural Utah. His father was a compulsive liar who was addicted to pain pills and married four times over the course of his life. His mother was emotionally absent and married three times. He had such bad anxiety that he would get sudden and explosive bouts of diarrhea and has spent his entire life managing his anxiety and OCD. Despite these challenges, Edwards has been married since 2009, has three kids, a stable career, and has figured out strategies for living a โ€˜normalโ€™ life.โฃ

Since 2001, America has dropped a bomb or placed a boot in every country in the Middle East and Northern Africa including Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, Qatar, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan, Niger, and Mali, and Iโ€™m fairly certain the list goes on. Before 9/11, al Qaeda was barely a blip on the global radar. Now, thanks in large part to our military and bombing campaigns in their home countries, terrorist groups are more numerous than ever.โฃ
.โฃ
While our politicians continue to propagandize the populace with words about the fight for freedom and democracy, we have in actuality become the bad guy, the evil empire hellbent on global domination and absolute power. Osama bin Laden once warned that โ€œThe U.S. government will lead the American peopleโ€”and the West in generalโ€”into an unbearable hell and a choking life,โ€ and he was absolutely right. He opened the door to hell, and our power hungry politicians and members of the military industrial complex walked right in, thanking him as they did.โฃ

Historically, the only way to even out mass disparities in wealth is by violence and massive death tolls. The four horsemen of economic leveling (decreasing wealth inequality) are mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolutions, state collapse, and plagues. Everyone suffers; the wealthy simply have more to lose.โฃ
