What is the "Manosphere"? What is a Good Man?
What is the “manosphere”? What is a good man? That first question is easy to answer. The second question is harder and everyone seems to have a hot take on it. I tried to define masculinity and manhood in certain ways that would be appealing to the type of person moved by the manosphere, but I...

On Virtues and Current Events
I briefly discuss reactions to current events such as I.C.E. issues and why our reactions, claims, and judgments may not be as sound as we may like them to be.

They Say Fighters Come From Dark Places | Notes on Suicide (1/2)
Do not listen to this you feel it would be unsafe. If you or someone you know needs help talk to someone today https://988lifeline.org/ Much hesitancy was present while making and uploading this story. At the beginning of the year I had nearly a dozen topics I wanted to write and pontificate on....
-
On Christianity, Bullshit, and Pseudo-profound Bullshit
As provocative as this title may be, I decided to keep it since it shares the technical terms which are simply too relevant to omit. Nothing in this essay is intended as ad hominin, and I wouldn't share anything which doesn't provide silver lining or an imperative. So, as offensive as this title...

If You Want What's Best for People, Understand them | Ignorance is Bliss for You, but Not for Others
I'm a weird person and this is a weird way to share what's shared. I'm not always nice or sweet. I show love with the austerity of a fighter or a philosopher. It's not normal to discuss an ex in this way, but I hope this post sparks in you a desire to learn more for our species' well-being and...

Reason vs. Our Information Landscape, Politics, and Religion | Guided by Reason pt. 3 of 4
This was originally going to be a 3 part series, but I turned it into 4 to make it a bit more digestible. Life's been hectic, hence the random upload schedule I have, but I still have things I'm writing and I have messages I care to get out. So, I'm still here doing this thing. There's a lot I've...

Attention Fragmentation Will Make Us So Ignorant We Destroy Ourselves
For the sake of not fragmenting your attention, I included video for my message. So, for better or worse my face, however ugly, is in this one. I included a few studies/stats. Check out the description under my video Attention, Satiety, Satisfaction for the links to those. Perhaps this video was...

You Have NO Free Will. Now What? | How Determinism Can Optimize Positive Change.
This is the section from my longer essay found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HloZPko_QgI&t=7688s Initially I was unwilling to cut up my long-form essays into smaller pieces because it leaves some to cherry pick and strawman certain arguments without the full context. To some degree, I was...

Guided By Reason | Why Should You Value Reason??
This will be the first of a 3pt essay. I'll likely still upload a full version after I break it up. I prefer the long version, but people tend to turn away from videos over an hour long and I get why. So, for now, enjoy part 1! Stay guided by reason and motivated by love!

Boxing, Corporate America, and Their Discontents
I wanted to provide a few observations I had with respect to the Bxng Club closure. Stay to the end for a cool announcement. This was written quickly and without the same care as my long form essays, but its proven difficult to let my brain focus elsewhere, so I thought I'd give a word about it.

Gods, Too, Decompose: Ignorance-- The Worst Feature of Christianity and Other Religions
Much love everyone. This essay will surely be taken as provocative, but my intention is not to breed hate... literally the opposite. Please be civil with any responses. Stay guided by reason and motivated by love.
