I served two tours in Iraq, came home after the WMDs turned out not to exist, and spent the next twenty years in the conspiracy world, including fourteen years in an antisemitic movement where I was one of its more visible voices.
Until I left.
Not because anyone shamed me out of it, but because I finally checked the claims I’d never checked. I know how this works from the inside.
That experience is what I write about here: I analyze beliefs, ideologies, conspiracies, social paradigms, and propaganda. I expose the nature of their structures and show you how they generate their claims, how people fall for them, and how people can get out.
I’m an independent philosopher working outside of the academy. You can read my papers here.
I’m also the author of three books. You can buy them here.
Everything I write here is free. Paid subscriptions support the work.
