Where is the FKN Commonsense?

About the Book

This book is the second edition of my first book, “A Commonsense Book with a Trillion Dollar Project,” now with a new catchy title and improved cover: “Where is the FKN Commonsense?” I had to republish it with essential modifications to better address ongoing societal issues contributing to the divide in our nation. Instead of stabilizing other nations and highlighting crime and violence abroad, we should focus on reducing our crime rate, curbing violence, and building our infrastructure. With the American spirit second to none, as the world leader blessed with abundance, we are a beacon of hope and the most powerful nation with the best constitution. We stand up to tyrants and champion human rights, innovation, and freedom. But why is our society becoming polarized, with increasing insecurities and fears? Despite heightened security, why are we more vulnerable? Though we help the world more than any other nation, why do we have more enemies and dissatisfaction at home? Are we complicating matters by following the marketing gimmicks of mainstream media, politicians, policymakers, lobbyists, and corporations? Have we, as peacemakers and nation builders, created more chaos? Why are we eager to fix other nations instead of improving our own? Why are we trying to liberate nations only to create more terrorists and chaos? Isn’t it time to start evaluating beyond the glitter, biases, and greed? Shouldn’t we ask commonsense questions and simplify our approach as Americans, not as corporate hawks, biased lobbyists, Democrat-Americans, or Republican-Americans? The Trillion Dollar Space Economics Project concept supports and discusses a commonsense mindset with a vision of peace, collaboration, generating tremendous employment, reducing polarization, and reviving the post-COVID economy. It’s time to focus on making things better at home and harnessing our potential for the benefit of all Americans.

In his previous edition, he initially wanted to title the book “Where is the FKN Commonsense?” but was advised by a mentor to avoid slang and focus on the concept of Space Economics. He thus named it “A Commonsense Book with a Trillion Dollar Project,” while still hinting at his original title on the cover and writing under the pen name “You and Me” to eliminate bias.
