Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
I write here, and at www.rebels-raiders.com
Artist and thinker creating a survival guide for deep thinkers in a hyper-distracted world. I write through science, spirituality, culture, history, art history, psychology, theology, and philosophy.
Introvert in a loud world. Lover of cleverness, chaos, and coffee. I overthink professionally, laugh defensively, and write recreationally. Occasionally mistaken for wise. Frequently mistaken for serious. Rarely both at the same time.
