- It pays to argue against what your opponents actually believe 24th June 2022They say that the Earth’s magnetic poles swap places every few hundred thousand years. “Roe v Wade: US Supreme Court ends constitutional right to abortion”, reports the BBC.

- Systems indoctrinate, deprecate questioning and doubt, produce reactive citizens, and blame them(An extension of a few points I mentioned in this video concerning education.) So-called educational systems teach young students what to believe, how to behave, and perhaps skills deemed necessary—not to question.

- VISITING THE REMAINS OF BENJAMIN DECASSERES IN TUCSON 31st May 2021by John GrauerholzThere are particular geographic locations that, for one inexplicable reason or another, seem peculiarly enchanting.

- Epoche and detachment in analysis 24th June 2022I want to make a short and quick comment about a style of argumentation that I’ve noticed in people from the Indian subcontinent (though not exclusive to them).
