Politically, Holtz espouses a view called Market Liberalism, which in his words “says the government should prevent coercion and fraud, provide a safety net for the poor, protect the environment, regulate basic infrastructure; but otherwise recognize the freedom and responsibility of peaceful honest adults to control their own bodies, actions, speech, and property, and work and play together as they see fit.”
Holtz, an anti-Christian atheist who was once Roman Catholic, is sympathetic to autocosmology. Autocosmology is a synthesis of metaphysical naturalism, ontological materialism, epistemological empiricism and positivism, mental functionalism, theological atheism, axiological extropianism, political libertarianism, economic capitalism, constitutional federalism, biological evolutionism, evolutionary psychology, and technological optimism.
Works
Holtz is the author of ‘‘Human Knowledge: Foundations and Limits’’, an extensive paper which attempts to answer life’s big questions regarding philosophy (ontology, theology, axiology), mathematics, natural science (physics, astronomy, biology, chemistry, and geoscience), technology, social science, and futurology, among other fields.
Holtz wrote two distributed editors: ShrEdit and CoEd. In addition, he designed an artificial life simulator called Vita.
Holtz also participates in debates on theism, politics, the Iraq War, futurology, and more. He has contributed several articles to Internet Infidels.

Tasha Forbes is one of the minor characters in the popular radio drama, Adventures in Odyssey.
Tasha used to be romantically involved with Jason Whittaker, but they broke it off because of a conflict of interest. Tasha works for the National Security Agency as a microbiologist. She first appeared in the episodes "A Name, Not a Number, Parts 1 & 2". She had been kidnapped by a terrorist group called Red Scorpion, led by a man named Mustafa. They needed her to help decipher some important information about Rukata, a highly fatal virus. However, it is only fatal if combined with TA-418, which was created by both Tasha and John Avery Whittaker, the "T" being for Tasha and the "A" being for Avery. Jason managed to rescue Tasha, and she wasn't heard from again until "Love is in the Air", in which Jason proposed to her. She accepted, but the wedding didn't happen per se until "A Question about Tasha". In this episode, Jason and Tasha broke off their engagement, because Tasha refused to quit her job just because it was based in Washington, DC. Tasha's latest appearance was "The Search for Whit", and it wasn't to get Jason back.
