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!

Contrary to popular belief, Machiavelli was not suggesting that people ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ be morally or ethically ambiguous, he was simply stating that if you have a desire for power, you must be. Fraud is the name of the game. Because of this, he (and Burnham) caution us against believing what the powerful say and instead remind us that they are only looking out for their own interests.
.
โ€œAn honest statement to the masses, which by the nature of the case of a politician cannot give, would have to say: you cannot rule yourselves; distrust all leaders, and above all those who tell you that they are merely expressing or representing your will; erect and cherish every possible safeguard against the unchecked exercise of power.โ€

Power is held in two places: money and people. The wealthy elite class, otherwise known as the โ€œHaves,โ€ wield power with money; for the rest of us, the โ€œHave-Nots,โ€ power can only be found in organizing together as a united people. โฃ

No two organizational fights for change are the sameโ€”all are situational and context specific and our tactics must reflect this. While this book is a wonderful guide as to how to inseminate and begin the process of social change, it is up to us to blaze our own trail forward.โฃ

On the journey of life, many of us plot a suitable looking course for ourselves and then do our best to follow the path we set. Mickey Singer decided on a different strategy: surrendering to the events life had in store for him. This book chronicles the stories of his life as they unfolded in front of him. There is a lesson here for all of us: is it truly best to lead our lives? Or, perhaps, should we let them lead us?

This book is about the difference in philosophy between individualism and collectivism. It tells the tale of two architects, Howard Roark and Peter Keating, each embodying a different side of the coin, and delves deeply into their psychological motivations and how their lives play out as the world reacts to their opposing philosophies. While Roark is the clear protagonist, the emerging antagonist is a man named Ellsworth Tooheyโ€”a powerful collectivist who uses altruism as a form of control and mass manipulation.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are two of the most famous explorers in American history. These two men led a group of frontiersmen into the unknown Louisiana Territory on a mission to chart a course to the Pacific Ocean and to befriend the Native Americans along the way. Their expedition lasted over two years, and was punctuated with fantastic discoveries and also many opportunities for failure. They met both friendly and hostile Native tribes and only lost one member of the expedition to illness along the way, a remarkable feat considering the constant peril they faced and their rudimentary understanding of medicine.
