Let’s not waste time. There is something disturbingly parasitic happening in modern intellectual culture. The phenomenon is not new, but it has become increasingly pronounced in an era of podcasts, newsletters, and algorithmically curated echo chambers. We’re witnessing an

Sam Harris built a career on reasoned persuasion. Then he quietly stopped trying to persuade anyone. Paywalls. Exit from X. A closed audience. This isn’t hypocrisy—it’s an admission: discourse no longer constrains power. Read this if that thought makes you uncomfortable.

The people building AI know it may escape human control. They are building it anyway. This isn’t innovation. It’s moral cowardice. Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Demis Hassabis, and the journalists who enable them are gambling with human authority—and calling it “progress.” Read this

I wasn’t blind to Trump’s flaws. I tolerated them. Like many, I believed his disruption might be worth the cost in a culture already hollowed out by moral theater and institutional decay. I was wrong. This essay is about why I gave him the benefit of the doubt, what finally

Tariffs on Europe. Pressure over Greenland. This isn’t rhetoric anymore. The damage isn’t the policy. It’s the lesson being taught: that U.S. commitments are provisional, transactional, and one election away from reversal. Some things break faster than they can be fixed.

Buying the World Back: Trump, Greenland, and the Return of Imperial Logic

I gave @JDVance the benefit of the doubt when he became VP. After tonight, that grace is gone. Leadership begins with humility and compassion — especially when a woman is dead and a family is grieving. This wasn’t leadership. It was moral emptiness. “What Vance should have said”

Yesterday, the United States captured a sitting president. Not sanctioned. Not deposed. Taken. This piece is not about Nicolás Maduro alone, but about what his capture says about power, law, and the world we are moving into in 2026. America Took a President

Why are we so eager to listen to people who know just enough to sound convincing, and not enough to be right? A short essay on podcast confidence, borrowed ideas, and the collapse of discernment. Why We Listen to the Apparent Know-It-All https://t.co/fzskgJRpjz @ChrisWillx

2025 wasn’t chaotic. It was confident. Confident opinions. Confident experts. Confident narratives. This is a year-end essay on persuasion culture, intellectual humility, and a small wish for 2026: knowing a little less, and listening a little more. A Year of Knowing Too Much,

I stopped drinking around six years ago. Not because I hit rock bottom, but because it quietly stopped working for me. I wrote about what changed when I stepped away — and why I don’t see it as a moral stance, just a personal one. Stepping Away Quietly

I write The Tacit Frame. Just trying to make sense of things without the noise and bullshit. If you’re tired of the chaos online and want straight, honest writing, you might like it here. I Don’t Know What We’re Doing Anymore https://t.co/wJg5z8Sbds @lexfridman @joerogan

Trump accepting FIFA’s first-ever Peace Prize at the 2026 World Cup draw was the moment global sport officially drifted into self-parody. My latest essay dives into how Infantino’s ceremony blurred diplomacy, spectacle, and absurdity in a way only modern football can. If you

Just finished a new essay for The Tacit Frame on my growing reliance on ChatGPT—how it empowers me, scares me, and threatens to dull the human instincts we can’t afford to lose. We’re rushing into an age of competence outsourced to machines. What happens when the lights go out?

New essay on how Sam Harris, Joe Rogan, and other influential voices communicated during the COVID-19 pandemic — why rigid certainty on either side distorts public understanding, and what true intellectual humility looks like in crisis. What Harris and Rogan Get Wrong When

Just watched @SamHarrisOrg with the @triggerpod lads sleepwalk through yet another “big conversation.” Zero prep, zero facts, zero spark. I’ve written a piece on how this whole corner of Podcaststan has drifted into self-promotion, stale narratives, and intellectual autopilot.

Most of you aren’t thinking. You’re just obeying. Your beliefs, your outrage, your “nuance”—all shaped by tribes and algorithms. How much of what you believe is really yours? Read more on Substack: Your Tribe Owns Your Mind (And You’re Fine With It)

I’m honestly at the point where Joe Rogan is unbearable to listen to. The guy talks like he’s cracked some mystical code to life simply because he built a massive platform and surrounded himself with people who nod along. When he says garbage like “most people don’t know how to

The BBC got it wrong on Trump — no question. But throwing the entire institution into the fire because of one failure is the kind of moral absolutism that’s eating our media alive. Public trust needs repair, not demolition. My latest essay: BBC, Trump and the Limits of Purity:
