Now the question becomes: What’s next? How do we find real meaning, peace, and clarity as the simulation gets weirder every year?
The Book of Ben was written for exactly this moment.
Written by Michael Anthony and born out of real conversations in the Whatfinger newsroom, this short, funny, and deeply practical book explores the double-slit experiment, simulation theory, and the best wisdom from five ancient giants: Marcus Aurelius, Lao Tzu, the Buddha, Confucius, and Krishna.
Ben — our resident philosopher and associate editor — shows how these timeless ideas actually work in real life: in traffic, during breaking news cycles, at family dinners, and when the world feels like it’s glitching.
No pretentious guru-speak. Just grounded, usable wisdom from someone who shows up to work every day with the rest of us.
If you’re looking for clarity, resilience, and a little humor as you navigate the second half of life, The Book of Ben might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

What if the wisest minds in history crashed your office break room to roast your life—and fix it?
Meet Ben: associate editor at Whatfinger.com, philosopher, and the guy who won’t shut up about quantum physics, ancient sages, and the simulation we’re all living in. When novelist Michael Anthony starts recording their morning meetings “for notes,” he ends up with something far bigger: The Book of Ben—a hilarious, practical field guide that stitches Stoic armor, Taoist flow, Buddhist monkey-taming, Confucian harmony, and Krishna’s battlefield wisdom into one badass hybrid operating system for 2026.
From the double-slit experiment that proves reality only renders when observed, to Lao Tzu’s “dude, chill,” Marcus Aurelius’s battlefield mindset, Buddha’s drunken monkey mind, Confucius’s dad-level ritual advice, and Krishna rolling in on a golden chariot with breakfast tacos—The Book of Ben delivers ancient wisdom that actually works in traffic, breaking news cycles, family drama, and doom-scrolling hell.
Packed with laugh-out-loud office stories, pop-culture hooks (The Matrix, Ted Lasso, Gladiator, Inside Out), direct roasts of modern self-help, and a 30-Day “Slightly Less Screwed” Challenge, this isn’t another dusty philosophy book. It’s the ultimate life hack for anyone tired of feeling like an NPC in someone else’s simulation.
You don’t have to choose one tradition. Build the hybrid. Laugh at your failures. Do the work. Love the game anyway.
The particles are watching. The sages are rooting for you (and probably eating your snacks).
Welcome to The Book of Ben. The simulation has an excellent sense of humor—and it’s rigged in your favor if you play it right.

Whatfinger News, Trump & Science Fiction Fans…
New Book from Whatfinger’s Own: “Time’s Orphans” – A Must-Read for Every Patriot
Folks, if you’ve been with Whatfinger from the beginning — back when we were calling out the lies, fighting the woke mind virus, and standing up for truth while the mainstream media sold their souls — then I’ve got something special for you.
“Time’s Orphans” – Book 1 of the Medieval Future Series — written by our own Michael Anthony — just dropped on Amazon.
This isn’t some generic sci-fi novel. This is our story.
- Whatfinger crew members (Beth, Ben, Pat, and others) are on Elon Musk’s first Ark, carrying humanity’s last hope across the stars.
- Elon himself is in it — the man who actually built the damn thing.
- Trump gets the respect he deserves as the leader who fought for America when it mattered most.
- The crew makes the hard calls patriots understand: protecting the future, rejecting the lies of Big Pharma, and refusing to let the next generation be destroyed by the same evil we watched unfold on Earth.
The immortals on the Ark vote to hide the truth about resets so their children will actually have families and build something worth fighting for. They carry the weight of that decision across centuries… only to reach a new world full of dragons, ancient secrets, and the same old human struggles between freedom and tyranny.
It’s packed with everything we stand for:
- Unapologetic truth-telling
- Love of real America
- Rage against the machine that lied to us about the vax and everything else
- Hope that humanity can still build something great even after the fall
If you’ve ever wanted to see a story where the good guys are the ones who backed Trump, backed Musk, backed free speech, backed real science over corporate lies, and refused to bow to the globalist reset — this book is for you.
Time’s Orphans is the beginning of something big. A series that blends hard sci-fi with epic future history, written by one of our own.

Leave a review if you love it. Share it with your friends. Let’s push this one up the charts and show the establishment that real Americans are still creating, still fighting, and still dreaming big.
The fight continues — even among the stars.

Book II goes serious Game of Thrones style with even more politics, America love…. Surely will be destroyed by the Left in comments/reviews once we advertise the books. – Mike – CLICK HERE for Shadows Of The Ark
