THATDAMNGEORGE embodies a deliberate convergence of brilliance, wit, creativity, audacious sexuality, and unapologetic intellect. My work is grounded in self-sovereignty—a lifelong commitment to mastering the self through continuous research, lived experience, and creation. I am not just building a company; I am architecting a movement where ideas, intellect, and intimacy collide in ways that challenge, provoke, and expand what it means to live fully.
I have always been an independent learner and researcher; a polymath committed to digging relentlessly for deeper understanding. In 2015, I began designing my own system of intellectual and creative development: The Haus of Intellect—an independent, minimally invasive, open-source model for education, scholarship, and creation. The Haus functions simultaneously as a micro-creator studio, salon, and living archive—a dedicated space to generate content, research, and cultural discourse without boundaries.
The Haus of Intellect houses my Dr. Pauli Murray Independent Research Library, featuring more than 500 books including rare and first-editions, 300+ magazines, periodicals, and over 1,000 vinyl records. It is both a resource and an incubator—designed to mine, refine, and amplify raw intellect into transformative ideas. My mantra is simple: “Ideas Are Sexy Too.”
Through this work, I have cultivated an ecosystem and community for independent learners, cultural provocateurs, artists, sex-positive thinkers, and advocates of radical self-expression. What began as a spark of intellectual curiosity has evolved into THATDAMNGEORGE.COM—the central platform for my unique brand of idea-centric, sex-positive content. My work merges scholarship, entertainment, and sensuality into a modern form of thought-based hedonism, emphasizing harm reduction, wellness, and liberation.
As a philosopher, public intellectual, writer, model, entertainer, critic, satirist, storyteller, and person-centered advocate, I use lived experience as my lens for creation. Every piece of work—whether a publication, performance, or digital offering—carries the same mission: to challenge fixed ideas, inspire intellectual curiosity, and empower others to live authentically.
The spaces I create—whether online or in person—are designed to be radically inclusive, mutually safe, and intentionally bold. They invite people to uncover and reclaim their most unapologetic selves while engaging deeply with ideas, art, and intimacy.
As the face of SMRTASS HOLDINGS and the THATDAMN brand, I represent a new model of intellectual and cultural leadership: fiercely independent, culturally relevant, unapologetically Black, sex-positive, and intellectually fearless. My life’s work is to create a brand and ecosystem where intellect, creativity, and sexuality are not oppositional forces but complementary engines of liberation and growth.
