This book series includes the leading blogs I wrote between 2008 and 2020. As a Hip Hop artist, I wanted to process what I see as a psychological change in the global mentality of people. As someone who came to the world in the late 1970s and grew up in the 1980s and 1990s under the Abrahamic mind frame, I had to cope with the temporal changes after 2000. Our global society had trained us to think and behave one way, but when we grew up, those lessons became outdated.

Like Sandman, I am jotting each topic in my diary, expressing my confusion with synthesizing the Abrahamic and temporal beliefs. That's why I called the series "The Sandmann's Journal." That is also why I write from a first-person perspective. By Abrahamic thinking, I refer to the original teachings of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. My focus subjects are my reaction to the rise of radical feminism. I also address the issue of racism from an African perspective and the economic disenfranchisement of people experiencing poverty.

In my Sandmann opinion, several agents from the West have pushed for a global change from a religious to a secular mindset. These include the Western governments, mainstream media, large corporations, social media, the judicial system, and the Court of Public Opinion. To tackle this topic, I have oriented myself toward conspiracy theories. Therefore, this book series is about the influence of the public's varied attitudes through social media.

It is important to note that I do not intend for this to be offensive. Let's use the breakdown of age groups from The Center for Generational Kinetics illustration to describe what I mean. According to their analysis, five generations exist during this publication. These generations are the "Traditionalists or Silent Generation (1945 and before), Baby Boomers (1946 – 1964), Generation X (1965 – 1976), Millennials or Gen Y (1977 – 1995). Gen Z, iGen, or Centennials (1996 – TBD)."

Now consider that every generation has social, political, religious, ethical, or traditional norms that it passes on to the next. Then, imagine the propagation between them. According to The Center for Generational Kinetics, I (The Sandmann) belong to the Millennials or Gen Y (1977 - 1995). Other institutions classify this period as Gex X or a micro-generation called Xelinials. We have the Baby Boomers and the Generation X who came before us and the Generation Z, iGen, or Centennials who came after.

The driving efficiencies that animate these books are direct conflicts in the social, moral, religious, ethical, and traditional norms of Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials or Gen Y, and Gen Z, iGen, or Centennials. Most of what the Millennials, Gen Y, or Xelinials learned from their predecessors, the Baby Boomers and Generation X, are inapplicable in the Gen Z, iGen, or Centennial world. The fundamental shift in that mindset stems from a societal changeover from Abrahamic to temporal creeds.

Although I have based the information in this series on facts and opinions, "The Sandmann's Journal" is not a news source. Please do not use it as a reference source but as a document for educational purposes. That is because it marked when social and political ideologies changed from one generation to the next. Still, it is not a script that justifies discrimination or bigotry against those outside its scope. Sandmann writes about dramatic changes in his world in his diary and these books.
