Hm. Wow. I love that green. Not as much as the bright orange it used to be, but I'm hoping you're wrong. I'll talk to others about this. If a majority concur, I'll give up my beautiful verdant for cold white or glowering black. You people and your ugly (in this case literally) truths!

for the watchmen of EVE
Good evening. Gentlemen. Ladies.
Thank you all for accepting my invitation. I know its unusual for so many of you to be in one place. And in public no less. Let's make this brief. All of you have corps and alliances to look out for; people who depend on you even if they don't know it.
I also know that most of you will never be thanked for what you do because you have deliberately moved in silence. I respect that silence and would never break something so valuable to us all.
But I will say, on their behalf: Thank you. Thanks for doing what watchmen always do: tracing a circle in the dirt with the tip of your sword and putting everything on the line to keep everyone in the circle safe. You know you'll fail. Everyone who does it fails. But it has to be done.
And some of its exciting but a lot of it is tedious. You spend a lot of time watching. You watch your charges. Or you watch the watchers of your charges. You watch yourself, because you might weaken or make mistakes and that just isn't permissible. Not when their safety is at stake. You are the ones who stay alert when everyone else is mining or chatting or talking in the voice comms. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

The EVE Marketplace is incredibly complicated and mind numbingly huge. But some things are fairly straightforward.
When you click on "sell item" to sell ore or salvage or, well, anything, you are selling to a buy order. A buy order is an order to buy so many items at a certain price. You automatically sell to the highest priced buy order in range of your system when you click "sell item" This is the most convenient way possible for you to empty your cargo hold and be on your merry way. It is also the least profitable. Buy orders are always set as far below the retail price you could get from selling those goods as the market will bear obviously. Your own buy order is your friend. Everyone else's is a wicked sinful trap smiling at you with lips painted like a *****. They wink at you. They leer.
They say, "C'mon big spender, what's a real man like you sweating it over a few ISK? C'mon just click me. One little click."
At SFSC we advise you to avoid the temptation of easy money. Why? Because usually easy money does not lead to big money. And selling to buy orders is the easiest of easy money and a habit that helps insure your dependancy on handouts for the life of your character.
So what do you do instead?
Consider learning a few of the trade skills and trying to buy and sell using your own buy and sell orders. This is overall the most profitable option to you, but also the option requiring the most work on your part. It really is worth trying and if you like Trade, you can wind up needing a planet sized accounting system just to keep track of the zeros in your bank accounts. EVE needs traders just like we need miners and planetologists after all.
Try selling your goods to your Corp. This is pretty easy. All you have to do is contract the stuff over and you get your ISK.
Try selling your goods to other corp members. If the corp doesn't want to buy what you are offering, or you can make a more mutually beneficial arrangement with other members, just make individual arrangements for the exchange of whatever goods and services. There are no hard and fast rules for the these arrangements except that bargaining in bad faith with other corp members is, well let's just say its frowned upon.
Donate the stuff to Smiling Friends Social Club. Even if we can't sell it, we can reprocess the stuff and get a few good high end minerals from the items. It will wind up donated to new players. Yeah in my opinion donating is better than selling to buy orders where all you get is a tiny fraction of the item's worth.
Give the stuff to me, Praxis. At least I'll be your very best friend for the ten minutes I remember you did me the favor. Yes. Even THAT would be better than selling to a buy order.
Find a sharp corner of a piece of your loot and stab yoursself in the eye with it. At Smiling Friends Social Club, we recommend that you sell to a buy order rather than take this course of action. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

Meetings
A meeting is a leadership op.
Everyone says they hate them but these are one of the most effective and entertaining tools at your disposal. If you can't throw a good meeting, call it a party. Hand out awards, decorations, presents. Make speeches about how great people are. Stage fights/debates between members of the Board over critical issues facing your corp. Record them and put them on your website. Drama at meetings is excellent as long as its your drama. You know you're doing something right when people are listening to the playbacks of your meetings and promising themselves they're not going to miss the fun next time.

There was a time when I thought that hi sec pvp was like basic training for nullsec pvp and to a certain extent it is. I said that to some nullsec PvP heavies, guys who actually knew their stuff. They (very kindly) informed me how wrong I was. I was told that hisec pvp will more than anything teach you habits you will have to unlearn most of in nullsec. So my advice is their advice. For you military guys, nullsec pvp is where the most hardcore pvp in the game happens. (I mean, c'mon, just look at the weapons you can't even use in hi sec. (Bombs. Capitol ships. Cynosural fields. Warp disruptor bubbles.) so get out there as soon as you can find someone who will take you. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

Excerpt from Chapter II of the Neurotechnicon
A lie is never a trivial thing. Every single one has to be watched carefully and remembered remembered remembered. They have a way of skipping out of your control and doing just the kind of mischef you don't want at the least opportune momments. A like is like a demon servant evoked by just the right combination of words. Like demons, lies always cheat on how much they are going to cost you. Every lie you tell requires your resources to maintain or it will do damage. Like any effective tool they can damage you as much as they can damage your targets if not more.
In this chapter we discuss how, using the methods you learned in chapter I to create your memory palace, you can build a deceptadrome of mnemonic devices to remember and organize your lies.
Memory Palace
A lie is simply never as powerful as a truth. The reason is simple. A truth, bearing the weight of and reflecting the effects from actual events, needs less attention from you in order to do its work. A lie, existing only in the words and minds of the speaker and hearer, has no momentum but what you and the hearer give it yourselves. To believe your lies at any time other than the moment you utter them is an error from which there is usually no escape. Your lies may not be as powerful as the truth but they can easily become more powerful than you.

Your wickedness is exactly like your goodness in that its actual worth is what you are actually willing to pay for it.

Q: So what's this Neurotechnicon.
A: Its a manual on destroying EVE organizations from within. Assassination. Sabotage. War in the information age. The metagame of EVE. And the meta-meta game of playing EVE "against" yourself.
Q: So Praxis where do your loyalties lie? (Our first member asked me that.)
A: With a group of players with whom I play the game. I will have none but free men in my secret society/circus/acting troupe. The loyalty granted by those who have to offer it because they can't escape from their need for a group is one thing. The loyalty offered by those who offer it purely of their own free Will is another thing entirely.
Q: This is ridiculous. You can't expect people to go to all this trouble to be part of your little crew.
A: How many people do you think I really need at the upper levels of this to get the stuff I want to get done? Five? Ten? Twenty at the very most. And I'm playing for the long term. It took me a year and a half to lay the foundations to get this far.
Q: How can you take so much time over each player?
A: Because H&M is all about quality over quantity. Even if they "joined" to betray SFSC, I'd hope they leave better able to play spy vs spy.
Q: These forums go on forever. Why should I read all this junk?
A: There are some questions that, just by asking them, you tell me it would be pointless to try to answer.
Q: So, what you are gonna use me in your evil plot to rule the Galazy?
A: Sometimes, sure. I mean, we do want to have a project to work on in common right? But most of the time, I'm going to be happy to work on creating an environment in which you have as many options to do what you'd like to do in the game. After all, this is the only way I'll get to see what you will actually do. I'm not looking to rule New Eden. The very most I'd ever want to do with it, even if CCP offered it to me, is play with it.
Q: C'mon. Trust Praxis? Gimmme a break. How stupid do you think I am?
A: Not sure yet. But I'll tell you how stupid I'm not. I'm not stupid enough to lose track of the reality that this is a game and someone has to stand in for the player and communicate with the other players. Someone, somewhere in the organization has to be able to make trustworthy agreements on behalf of that organization. That's Praxis. I have other characters who are lying traitorous vipers, not even necessarily associated with SFSC.
Q: I'm a much more experienced player than you. Why should I join your pitiful little band?
A: Because I'm very good at what I do, which is build small groups of weird and intense people who want meet each other and work on fascinating scary stuff that few other people care about. Like performance art. Or Psychological warfare.

Horrible or Wonderful Either Way This Is True for an Effective EVE Corp
And now the hideous truth. The moment when you, as uneasy as Blackbeard's eighth wife, slip that key out of the drawer you aren't supposed to and unlock that door. I've been there. Its all going well. Too well. You and your new corp have gotten through the honeymoon but are still having sex almost every day. You're relaxing. its happening. Its just..... That door. You trust your new spouse, oh certainly beyond a shadow of a whisper of a 151 KM warp to point's worth of doubt you do trust your newly betrothed and beloved or why would you have married them in the first place. Its just.....
That door.
So you open the fracking thing and after you do you almost wish it was seven heads on spikes with yawning jaws and maggots in their eyes because what's there is so much worse what's there are...
Spreadsheets.
There is no escape from them. Once your corp or alliance gets beyond a certain point you will need them. It is hard to tell when that point is because something will eat away at you like the thought of the key does Blackbeard's bride. And when you finally realize what it is, you, like all of us, will find spreadsheets.
I recommend a complete and total capitulation before the vastly superior force of necessity. (Sometimes simple surrender serves you best my friend.) In order to do so, just open a google docs account. (I said I never would and I did.) You can assign access to documents including spreadsheets to your officers. The horror. The horror.

Rules of the Governing Body
Below are a good set of guidelines for your managers and directors. If you can find one of these that is not an absolute necessity given the actual conditions that prevail in the game please let me know. I'll publish a retraction and make sure you get the credit.
1. We keep the difference between fantasy and reality clear. We are not the rulers of a mighty empire. We are the "employees" of a non profit organization. All the people who take our orders are volunteers. When we issue our "commands" we'd better keep that in mind, and make it work for us every single step of the way.
2. We take the time to thank each other for our work.
I've seen groups founder because the people who run it forget this kind of simple politeness. (This one is SUCH a good thing to overlook if you want to carefully lay the foundation for utterly unnecessary festering resentment within your management team.)
3. We take the time to critique each other's work.
I've seen volunteer organizations fall apart completely, and in the end, it turned out that it was more than anything because nobody felt they had the right to say anything to each other because they are all volunteers. Which is true. But if your volunteer isn't doing their job or doing a bad job they are worse than useless. That's also true.
4. Honor among Thieves.
Especially when we disagree. More then than ever in fact. If you can't handle confrontations like a businessman you have no place managing or leading anything other than toy soldiers.
5. We understand that a lot if not most of our EVE time is going to be taken up by coordinating the efforts of other players.
If the idea of spending your time analyzing the Big Picture, scheming, issuing "orders," and moving pieces in and out of play on the game board does not make your heart beat faster, this definitely not the job for you.
6. Expert authority carries the day.
Even though EVE groups are structured as dictatorships with the CEO/Executor being able to kick anyone out or end the club itself, expert authority will be the actual means of decision making and implementation 9 times in 10. Just saying. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

People walk up to me in the street.
They say, "Hey Praxis. How ya doin'? So what about you stop being coy and just tell us what the frackin' Secret Evil Plan is? And if you don't then eat slaver hound turds!"
Well I don't want to eat the turds of even fictional creatures so I've decided to give in. But only here on the website. Yep. People are actually going to have to go through the trouble of clicking on a link to our site to see the SEP we've been talking about for the last two years.
So here goes.
The Secret Evil Plan is neither Secret or Evil. I've already conceded the point about the secrecy. I haven't shut up about the thing since I started as a Director.
Now I'm going to have to fess up to my many critics as well as admirers that the plan isn't even actually Evil.
With the Neutotechnicon, I've written what will hopefully be only the first guide on EVE spy vs spy playing. A member of SFSC had read the Neurotechnicon and asked me why, given what was in the thing, I publish it and make it available to even our enemies. I found this to be a more than reasonable question. The answer is that we are also an educational organization. And we love EVE because its a game that allows and encourages this dimension of MMO gaming. And who ever said I put everything I knew into the Neurotechnicon anyway?
With The Technocrat I've provided a service to all the manager players in the game. There's a year and a half of intensive research on EVE organization management in that sucker. Its going to enable our evil scheming politicians to do their evil scheming and power mongering much much more efficiently. I'd like it if EVE got a rep for really badass "guilds." Let's get those power mongers out there playing those games where they don't get nearly as many toys to play as they do here interested in EVE.
With the New Players Very First Steps Guide I've hopefully done something to help even more twisted obsessive gamer types through that horrible first two weeks to a month where the sheer size of the thing just exhausts you. We get a few more interesting minds though the door everybody wins.
The irony is that 95% of the people in my organization could care less about spying. They just want to learn EVE at all. Only the tiniest few actually get as far as infiltrating and doing dastardly things of that kind. Even among the few who come to me saying that they want to go undercover right from the start.
Who knew there would be such unsuspected reserves of, well, virtue among EVE players? Most of us actually want to be Good Guys, even in our fantasy lives. (And I know: all you pvp guys are bloodthirsty! Raaaaaaaahhh! Snarl! Yes but even then there's a difference between being a tough guy and a bad guy.) In this I may have done my members a disservice. We should have been a well publicized organization known for anything but spying, and secretly had a ring of agents rather than be widely known for spying and not do enough of it to make it worth the reputation. On the other hand, I've got the people in my organization who want to, among other things, educate and train new players. We tried to farm this function out among other corporations but it didn't work.
More about this soon. Or I'm going to delete the thing. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

From Warp To Zero
Its that underlying astonishment: "What? What do you mean you don't want to be part of the team?" Its like a religious person hearing for the first time in their life that someone doesn't believe in God. They're baffled that you don't want to play. With them. "What do you mean you don't want to do it our way to be part of my tribe?"
And you smile to yourself. Just because you're there they think you're there with them. And you are, why wouldn't you want to be? Certainly there are individual players with whom one forms loyalties. Speaking for myself I enjoy my loyalties and the effects they have on me hugely. But, again, those are to individuals, not groups although I'll admit I can be sentimental about those from time to time.
And then there's the simple truth that you are interested in getting certain things done in order to test your ideas. And if you're going to do a good job of that you're going to have to be first and foremost alone, apart, with the perspective of the perpetual outsider.
The irony of this can be how vastly useful you can wind up being simply because nobody else as deep in "your" group is capable of addressing the group from that perspective. Actually this is something I've found particularly enjoyable over the years. Its allowed me to exert a huge influence on the groups I've been a "member" of because nobody is even capable of letting themselves see the spot "where it hurts." If I'm willing to exert the relatively large amounts of time, energy and money it takes to set thins in motion from such angles, I can eventually find out....something. And always always I am of service to the people I'm in the group with. But that's one of my personal policies not an experimental necessity. The group must profit more from my presence than I cost it. That way I owe the group nothing. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

Moons or plexes aside, most sov is worse than useless. (CCPs monkey trap: gourd with hole. Inside gourd are berries. Monkey puts hand in but can't pull fist out until he lets go of the berries.) Territory? How the bloodly blue blazes is territory going to help ME? Does a color on the daily sov map put ISK in MY pocket? Or, for that matter, the pocket of the corp I'm a mamber of? Does going to tedious CTAs to defend that territory make the game worth playing for ME? Those are not academic questions. If territory is what you want, you'd damn well better find members who have the same answers to those questions above as you do BEFORE you claim territory.

Your Leadership Group
This topic deserves a guide of its own, as long or longer than this one.
The daily care feeding and grooming of your membership at large can be done by one or more of the designated management team but if you wish to continue in your job as being in fact CEO or Alliance Executor you'd better be the one taking care of your leadership group. You have to manage your managers. These people are essential to your group's survival. The person who does this job is in fact the leader of the group no matter what their title.
If you want these people to continue to donate their priceless time to you and your stupid group you'd better not take them for granted. That gets ignored only for so long. And then, usually, you wind up with an enemy. It won't matter that the only thing you were guilty of was feeding them all the rope they needed to hang themselves. That's all it takes.
You MUST make appreciating and caring for your managers and volunteers your first or one of your first priorities. You MUST. YOU MUST. No matter how busy you are. Let something else slide.
YOU MUST MAKE APPRECIATING AND MANAGEMENT OF YOUR MANAGERS AND VOLUNTEERS A TOP PRIORITY OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF THEM.
The talent and dedication you waste will just leave without a word. Except the ones who will be angry humiliated at having volunteered to be used and taken for granted. They will betray you, steal, rip things up on their way out. (The funny thing is that the angrier they are at you, usually the more loyal they were at the start. Isn't that funny?)
Your members will see this pattern, even if you don't. The better ones leave. More and more the people who volunteer will be looking to steal from you, since now they come to the job knowing they won't get anything for doing it except what they take.
Leaders who can't or don't manage at least their key people are not leaders. They're just playing at it. It is ironic. Here in this make believe MMO land the only thing nobody respects you for pretending to be is a leader. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

You Choose Your Level Of Involvement
Freelancer
"I only gotta sell out four more of these guys for my new Tengu. That guy Praxis really came through. I wonder how much he'd be worth"
"I've got to prove myself to be worthy of their trust!"
The first tier Freelancer. You are paid for services rendered, with a smile thrown in. And the occasional bonus you hadn't looked for. We have pay scales and missions aplenty to keep the part time spy and mercinary fat and happy.
Handpicked Predator AND/OR Protector
"Hihihihihiiiiii. He was funny. Eyes all wide. Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaa."
"I had to stop it. It was wrong."
The second tier are the Handpicked Protectors AND/OR Predators. Only artists, the still functional but insane, the mad scientist, the alchemist, the traveller in the untracked wastes of human perception need apply.
It is to you I say: Yes. I'm here. Let's do it. What we always do whenever we assemble in groups of more than one. Come on in. I'll jump through your hoops and once I've proven myself to you we'll talk. And you know I don't have to promise you. Anything. I'll do what I always do for you because I won't be able to help myself.
Protector of the Weak AND/OR Intraspecies Predator
"You mean I got to do that to him for his own good? I love being me!"
At this point we are doing it for the art. For the love of it. You don't need us any more. Except as smiling friends. Evildoer or Lawman, you will be expected to play your role with consummate skill, passion and ruthlessness. SFSC Director or not, you will be part of the Inner Circle.

The group keeps you grounded and it imprisons you. I have people who work for me who recognize nobody's existence but their own. You can feel it in their reactions. If I were a dancing bear to be negotiated with or an alien, floating on my tank of liquid ozygen, they'd have the same reactions, the same plan. They see things only in terms of their own gain, or mine. To these creatures there is no reason to listen to a man's story aside from the tactical information to be gleaned. No amount of love or hate or time or familiarity will change this. I feel more kinship with my slaver hound bulldog than I do them. I wold mourn his death more than I'd mourn any of theirs.
These are the true intraspecies predators. They have no Word. They don't live as members of a social species. They will never understand that the best and worst things in life come from other people. They will never see the abyss that opens when a life is ended.
I find their company very stimulating. I spend a lot of time being aware of very basic things like where everybody is in the room. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

8/7/11
The silence of my old corpmates is thunderous. Clearly I have failed to communicate the substance of my demonstration/experiment/spectacle to them. Though it is presumptuous of me to think it my responsibility, after all we all make our own choices, and my friends have made theirs. Do I respect their choice? Even though my haze of anger and bewilderment, I must concede the point that their choice is not unreasonable for them. That was harder to write than I thought it would be. Nonetheless.
How completely I'd failed only came to me towards the end, when AR sent me that email saying that they were expecting me to behave myself and not make a spectacle with emails or anything to the alliance as a whole before I finally left.
I remember being mildly surprised. I'd thought I'd made it clear that I had simply dismissed the alliance and everyone in it. They had, for me, ceased to be a meaningful pick of pieces for my little game.
I did not love them enough to torture them in the ways they needed in order to learn what they needed to learn about their current situation. There were no bond with which to wind their heartstrings. I had no need to suffer with them in order to undergo the necessary....inoculation.
And inoculated they will be. Against what? Why, mindgames of a specific type. Now they will know what to do, and they won't need to know how they know it. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

So what's in this for me, the guy writing all this.
1. I love making groups that work well and that's the thing in EVE I find more fun than anything else.
2. I think it sux that all the military PvP guys seem to hate the big fleets so much. Isn't there some way we can do all this without them having to HAVE to do it?
3. I really really prefer the idea of oligarchy based on expert authority rather than the lone alpha male model. This way I get to have my cake and eat it too.
4. I want to write this. Script it. Put on a show. Be openly the Minister of Propaganda and be the head of the secret police secretly. (I've been waiting for 49 years to type that phrase and didn't know it.) Oh and the head of our diplomatic corp. Every one of our diplomatic corp are going to be spies. Just like in RL.
5. What I need is a TEAM. I need the folks who really want to do that other stuff I can't do myself no matter how much I might want to. The Merchant Prince. The Admiral of the Fleets. The Pirate Lord. The Minister of Hi Sec The Director of What I Don't Even Know About Yet. Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

My experience in nullsec so far is that industry takes a clear back seat to PvP, no matter what they tell you to get you to join their alliance. Most of nullsec is an active war zone. It is very rarely advisable for a business to set up production infrastructure in an active war zone. Unless you are allied with a group of PvPers who are good enough to keep the peace in their territory, or at least scouts where needed, you are better off buying ore in the nullsec markets and just shipping it to hi sec for production there than you are mining in nullsec for example. Your new alliance will almost always want you to go to their CTAs and if you want to that's great but if its a cost of doing business for you as a player, you have to measure carefully the benefits. There is some industry stuff that really doesn't work very well in nullsec. You just can't do the kind of mass market manipulation in nullsec that you can in hi for example. You can't play market games of any kind really. The alliances don't like that kind of thing except for whatever their leaderships are doing, naturally.
As far as I'm concerned the combination of your trade and hauling skills--your cloaky hauler/blockade runner and your jump freighter is the single most important thing to succeed in nullsec industry. If you can move stuff from hi sec to your alliance's (and their blues) marketplaces and back you are looking at the biggest margins in the game. You risk your ships and you lose your volume, of course.

Multiple Characters
Most of the people who play this game play multiple characters with multiple accounts. The pace of the game allows this. During your 37 jump trip for a pack of chewing gum, you cvan switch over to your other character. The key to doing this successfully is playing in windows mode.
To get into window mode hit Esc, then Display & Graphics Tab, the button on the upper left choose windows Praxis Astra Master of Assassins and Punctuality http://heartsandmindsalliance.org |

What Skills and Ships are Recommended for the Starting Spy?
For the industrial character, any skill set will enable you to function as an agent.
For the military pvp player, the obvious recommendation is the covert ops frigate, and the stealth bomber while you are at it. The force recon cruisers are also excellent scouting ships. But as with the industrial player, any skill set will serve you well.
For the player who wants to specialize in corp thievery, the class of skills you will need the most are all in spaceship command. You don't need to get them to 4 or 5, just enough to grab the ship and fly it to where you can sell it. Tell anyone who asks that this is your first character.

I will treat you honorably, even when we disagree. There are two reasons. One beyond my control and one that's a question of aesthetics. First, when you in the business of treachery, betrayal, spying and fraud, turns out your word is the catalyst that makes all your other assets work. Just as importantly, by being honorable I get to enjoy the rich irony of running an organization dedicated to terror, traitors and lies using friendship, frankness, and fairness. Better than dark chocolate.
I won't pinch pennies but I won't stand for being defrauded unless I really like you in which case its ISK I'd give you anyway that you're having more fun getting from me through theft. I won't come after you if you betray me. I just won't play with you any more. I consider that punishment enough.
Your character will be paid for results and only results. Hard work that results in a near miss results in nearly getting paid. I reserve the right to keep my counsel about anything I might want to give you extra on your next mission because I believe you did it even if you didn't prove yourself this time.
Proof of your Dastardly Deeds is mandatory. Screen shots, chat logs, recorded chat room convos, email copies, and corroboration by other agents within the organization will be required. I reserve the right to not be convinced by your (doubtless) sincere account of not having any proof of a given claim.

Cartography: The Art of Treasure Map Making
wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Cartography:_..._Treasure_Map_Making
A philosophical treatise by Praxis Astra commonly acknowledged as the founding document of the science and philosophy of neuromemetology which concerns itself with the effects of symbols, ideas and culture on the human evolutionary processes. This is typified by their famous slogan "Don't mistake the star chart for the galaxy!" Neuromemeticians also concern themselves with the effects of culture on their own psychology and physiology; as well as how to consciously control these. The third chapter of this book is actually the now famous "Gold Standard" dialogue usually published as a separate work. (The "Gold Standard" argument is that in the information age the true medium of exchange is no longer gold or even information, but the minds that are capable of using information and that create new and even evolutionarily significant information.) Several training systems are associated with neuromemetology, including the infamous Hearts And Minds of the alliance of the same name.

Prototype Nuclear Small Arms
wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Prototype_Nuclear_Small_Arms
The flagship product of the Hearts & Minds Vox Populi Weapons Systems Line. Not really a prototype at all. The name was a marketing ploy to make the weapons seem more "authentic" because even the plans for them had been stolen. Fantastically successful, they are favorites of both revolutionary movements seeking to free oppressed peoples and terrorist fanatics bent on overthrowing everything decent.

Me, Myself and Plunder
wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Me%2C_Myself_and_Plunder
A philosophical/ethical/strategic treatise to the effect that ethics might be analagous to chess in that there are are relatively few "pieces" capable of straightforward moves but that the combinations of these in particular circumstance are enormously dependant on context. Critical reception of this commonly concedes that the text is attributable to Praxis Astra (or a heuristic writing program constructing all his literary and technical works.) Most ethical commentators are quick to dismiss this as a work extolling nothing more revolutionary/evolutionary than enlightened self interest.
