Through essays and books, I investigate reality and test ideas—examining consciousness, culture, and the complexities of the human condition from a perspective that is always open to evolution and change.

I had the pleasure of attending Richard Dawkins’ Oxford lecture on his Genetic Book of the Dead tour on 21 October 2024. Dawkins describes this as his final tour—although, fortunately, unlike the tour, this book won’t be his last. The talk featured Alex O’Connor, a rising philosopher whose YouTube presence has attracted a following and…
The modern workplace is the haven of matured bullies, yet these workplaces claim to establish and follow superficial social policies on mental health and anti-bullying. Bullying (whether intrinsic or psychopathic) is innate and inevitable in work culture. Competition, the idea of merit, financial pressure and the excesses of work ethic cannot be what they are…
Devotion and conviction to one particular source is to be avoided as you will make it difficult to change your mind in the face of evidence or new experiences. This is not to be encouraged. A person will do this to find something that which they can feel some sort of arbitrary belonging. Their in-group…
This brings me to underscore a crucial hypothesis. The inherent human inclination to form a collective consciousness, to conform and seek out those who share the same perspective, often leads people to believe that their beliefs and values are more widely accepted than they truly are—a phenomenon known as false consensus. This flaw, while common…
By the time people have surpassed their mid-teens, they have convinced themselves that they’ve crossed into adulthood. This belief is fuelled by reaching certain milestones—buying a car, getting a job, or losing their virginity. Society seduces us into believing that these markers equate to maturity, yet they’re just empty symbols that barely scratch the surface…

Bystanders unconsciously perceive the conformist as upholding societal norms, thereby not recognising their own complicity in enabling bullying behaviour. It’s…
About the Author
I write to investigate reality and test ideas. Because a functional mind must be free to evolve, my views are subject to change; some positions I've taken in the past have naturally softened, while others are pushed to their logical limits here as intellectual experiments.
