    About this ebook

    A concise handbook of Viking-Poet morality, this pamphlet of philosophical first principles describes a moral code that leads to danger, creativity and evolution. Recorded by Stüffle von Schöngait and his identical twin brother during a motorcycle journey after the September 21 earthquake in Taiwan in 1999, this philosophical work will give you the philosophical framework to build your worldview. A provacative title because the philosophy is spicey, the small book is not for the weak. Can be read in small doses or in one sitting.
