Are you tired of humanity yelling at itself like a pack of hungry raccoons?
Well fret no more!
Are you exhausted from outrage marathons, moral posturing, and the creeping suspicion that civilization is quietly questioning your right to exist?
Well fret no more! Put it in a paradox!
Yes, you heard right. You can now wrap your existential dread, ideological panic, and moral confusion into one sleek Mary Oliver’ed poem—guaranteed to make every moral panic 72% more socially acceptable across the political spectrum.
But how does it work?
We’ve upgraded the gladiatorial arena of moral superiority into an intellectual escape room. Picture riddles, hidden doors, clever traps, and the occasional longing into the abyss. Just put your side in the same sentence with their side and watch as words transform from blunt instruments for domination to a crazy concept called nuance.
Inside the mind-bending paradox:
Questions > Answers
Curiosity > Certainty
Wonder > Cognitive dissonance without anyone needing to yell, throw objects, or faint dramatically
The moment things get heated, just put it in a paradox like an episode of Portlandia, sprucing it up and making it pretty. Suddenly, even the nastiest ideological clash feels like inception where everyone’s right, everyone’s wrong, and nobody gets assassinated.

What the heck did I just read?
For the past five years (give or take the time I’ve lost staring at the wall), I’ve been obsessed with how to prevent the collapse of public discourse by removing the illusions of my own ego—not surgically, though that would have been quicker—to see things from a higher vantage point, immerse myself in contentious spaces, and decode the psychologically sieged left, right, and center. (What could possibly go wrong?)
Along the way I dismantle cherished beliefs and any hope of ever being invited to parties again, while launching thought experiments of relentless intensity—sitting in uncertainty nearly every waking hour—to end destructive cancel culture, befriend political “enemies,” and attempt a Mike Wazowski by shifting the entire market economy from fear to joy, in order to make space for human flourishing.
My method is, naturally, principled reverse engineering of thought, human nature, character building, and systems, delicately interwoven with agile design thinking.
And through it all I’ve learned to let go of control with the grace and subtlety of a clumsy swan, staring into my deepest fears until they transcend into something higher—or at least more absurd and wonderful. Because hurt people hurt people and transformed people restore the balance of the universe, or at a minimum, stop you from yelling at strangers on the internet.
