Bio
Ken Meyercord is a retired computer type living in Reston, Virginia, where he fills his ample spare time with taking fitness classes at the Y; hiking, biking, and kayaking the USA; and maintaining a blog (kiaskblog.wordpress.com) for which he has cobbled together enough tall-tales, iconoclastic views, and misinformation to generate over 80 postings. He can be contacted at kiaskfm@verizon.net.
Ken has self-published four books: a treatise on economic theory, "The Ethic of Zero Growth"; a memoir of the Vietnam War years, "Draft-Dodging Odyssey" (under the penname “Ken Kiask”); a eulogy to his starry-eyed, star-crossed son, "At the Forest’s Edge" (under the son's name: Khaldun Meyercord); and a course teaching a simplified version of English, "Ezenglish" (all available online wherever fine books are sold).
In pre-COVID times he haunted think-tank events to ask provocative, iconoclastic questions (see “Adventures in Think Tank Land” on YouTube) and produced a public access TV show, “Civil Discord”, on which discordant views on controversial topics were discussed in a civil manner (episodes of the show can be viewed on YouTube; search for "Civil Discord Show").
