These areas are far out of my reach with regards to decision-making. I can merely comment on them, but refuse to make any significant statements about these areas. Educating oneself in scientific discoveries is a topic I enjoy dearly, yet it would be arrogant and ludicrous to assert propositions and ideas in this area as it is a very disciplinary field. With my trust in the empirical scientific method, one must let the professionals, the great minds within science, to continue discovering scientific wonders.
As An Observer of Scientific Discovery
A Brief Disclaimer
I like to keep my writing as honest as possible, which means balancing firm belief with open-ended curiosity. Not everything here is an open-ended experiment — a significant portion of my writing stems from deeply held principles rooted in observable facts and direct experience. However, I also value the freedom to think radically on the page, using satire, speculation, and intense critique to explore complex topics. My work serves as a real-time ledger of a mind in motion. As an evolving thinker, my views remain entirely open to change, softening, and deeper nuance over time.

In many respects whilst reading the book, which is now almost 1oo years after…
Slaves to Cultic Behaviour

Thinking Too Much and The Harm It Causes
What brings about more anxiety over hypothetical matters are thoughts that which persist before an event arises. This event or scenario can be an upcoming reality or even a hypothetical situation. This method of thinking is usually maintained by questions beginning with “what if” – the precursor to incessant worry. Our worry mechanism that resides…
On the Modern Use of Ancient Philosophy
Ancient philosophical schools that I find more appealing are ones that assess ethics (axiology). Much of what is professed on grounds of axiology in the schools of Stoicism and Cynicism, for example, can be of use regardless of the age of these philosophies. In particular, when one explores the life of Diogenes, one can see…
