Academia has failed, not because people suddenly grew stupider (no, that would be too simple, too comforting), but because of peer review and that solemn, almost liturgical phrase, “evidence-based” science. And yet… did it truly “fail”? I suspect it did not fail at all. It succeeded, succeeded at the very thing it was designed to do, though no one will …

For most of the post–Cold War era, American defense planning ran on a simple model: Space was a sanctuary, immaculate, untouchable. The homeland a deep rear area. And the hard part was shifting power outward, not defending inward. That model drove an entire generation of procurement …
Every era in economic history hides a force so fundamental to its functioning that it remains invisible until the moment it fails. In 2008, that hidden engine was mortgage-backed securities, arcane financial instruments most people didn’t know existed until they blew up the global economy. In 1999, it was the dot-com bubble, a frenzy of valuations built on shitty business …
We’ve heard no shortage, since about 2005, about the forces that threaten civilization. First it was climate collapse. Then terrorism. Weapons of mass destruction. The axis of evil. Economic collapse. Then the virus. Then lockdowns. Misinformation, then disinformation. Inflation, then deflation. Authoritarianism. Populism. Capitalism. Socialism. Fascism. Communism. Billionaires. The poor. Blacks. Whites. China. Russia. Iran. The continuation of the wars, …

It is an experiment in structure. Its goal is not to tell you what the world is, but to ask how structure itself might emerge from what is not. It explores …

Note: This novel framework introduces a speculative but logically grounded model of reality in which recursive observation, particularly by embedded, self-referential agents, functions not as passive awareness but as a causally generative force. Within this model, all coherent universes are subject to epistemic limits …
On this joyous spring day of the year 2025, under the silent watch of the stars and the scroll of time, I set these words to record—not merely as commentary, but as witness. We stand poised between two epochs: with one hand grasping the crude stone of our Neanderthal past, and the other reaching toward the blinding fire of the …
In both macroeconomic theory and political philosophy, two dominant and deeply conflicting schools of economic thought—the Austrian School and the Keynesian School—have long stood at odds, particularly over the fundamental question of the state’s role in economic coordination, intervention, and crisis response. Yet for most observers, this conflict remains hidden beneath the surface. To the casual observer, economic discourse is …
Probabilistic Formalism for the Uninitiated: Navigating the Epistemic Maelstrom of a Disordered Cosmos We exist in a Materium fundamentally composed of energy and matter. The Materium, also called “real-space,” is a tangible, four-dimensional region of spacetime where corporeal beings live. The Materium represents the physical plane of existence defined by the four basic natural forces—gravity, electromagnetism, strong force, and weak …
In the shadowed margins of rational choice, where cunning meets chaos and the enlightened savage reigns, game theory unfurls as a merciless apparatus for decoding strategic warfare. A dark art spawned from the minds of legendary theorists Von Neumann and Morgenstern, game theory eschews the sanitized parlors of academia for the raw arithmetic of survival—where every move is a gambit, …
