I came home from two tours in Iraq and discovered I had been lied to. Not just about the war—about the world. The beliefs I’d been handed didn’t hold up. So I went looking for new ones.

That search took me through every possible conspiracy theory, and then finally into the political realm: white nationalism, where I believed I had a race to save. Then into MAGA, where I saw something that looked like unity. Then into antisemitism, driven by rage over the Israel-Gaza war—a rage that produced “Boom Boom Tel Aviv,” a song that crossed into the billions of views worldwide and made me one of the most controversial figures on the internet.

I spent years as one of the most viral political activists on Twitter—polarizing, loud, and deeply embedded in a movement I eventually realized I didn’t belong in. And then I watched the people in my own camp betray everything they claimed to stand for. The grift, the hypocrisy, the rot—it was everywhere.

So I left. All of it.

What I found on the other side was what I should have been doing from the beginning: philosophy. The one pursuit that doesn’t ask you to pick a tribe. The one discipline built entirely around thinking clearly rather than belonging.

Since then, I’ve developed several original philosophical frameworks, including one that dissolves the Agrippa trilemma—a problem that has stalled epistemology for centuries. The core insight: the truth values needed to solve hard problems don’t live in propositions. They live in structures.

I belong nowhere but on my own, doing philosophy and discussing everything on my mind. This is where I do it.
