Weeping for Ukraine

There's nothing as terrible and polarizing as war. As thousands of Ukranians flee their homeland, cramming into trains headed for the European continent, the rest of us scramble to come to terms with a war that has blindsided us.

The Death of Rationality

People often criticize me for being "too certain". That my claims are too big and confident.

It took me a full year to start speaking out on the pandemic situation for this

The Three Types of Conspiracy Theorists

I take a more than average interest in conspiracy theories. Last May, I recorded a video on it that got quite popular, where I explored the archetypal dynamics of this fascinating phenomenon.

Leaving the Cult of the Mainstream
