In The Chaos Machine, Max Fisher pulls off something rare: a work of tech journalism that manages to feel both deeply human and apocalyptically urgent. Part investigation, part indictment, part elegy for what the internet once promised, Fisher’s book examines how the world’s largest social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter)…

Lost and Found: Transforming One’s Life for Better
To be lost is to be without direction, to feel that one’s life has no center, no guiding thread. This loss can take many forms. A man may lose himself economically, feeling that he has no means to secure his survival or that of his family. He may lose himself…
When Did You Stop Really Living?
They say you need a lot of things in life. A job. A car. Some shoes that don’t give you blisters. A mattress that doesn’t hurt your back. Maybe some friends who laugh at your jokes and don’t ask for too much. They don’t mention courage. They don’t mention beauty….
On the Moral Obligation of Critical Thinking
There are few qualities more neglected, and yet more urgently needed, than the habit of critical thinking. Our lives are flooded with information and noise; opinions are as countless as grains of sand, and certainty is more readily sold than truth. Now, more than ever, it is necessary to examine…
“Forgiving Humanity” by Peter Russell – a review
There’s a quiet boldness to Peter Russell’s Forgiving Humanity, the kind that doesn’t shout but rather invites you to sit down, exhale, and consider—for just a moment—the possibility that we’ve been asking the wrong questions all along. In an age bloated with judgment, outrage, and unrelenting cynicism, Russell offers something…
Will We Come Together Again?
The Great Depression taught Americans many things, but one lesson really stands out, not in the numbers or charts, but in the stories that passed from grandparents to grandchildren around dinner tables and porches. It’s the story of people who had very little, and yet gave anyway; of soup kitchens…
Flotsam; the remains of a shipwrecked life
The sea does not care. It takes what it wants and leaves the rest to drift. A man can build something strong, something that holds against the wind and the waves, but one good storm can take it all away. Then he is left with what floats; broken beams, a…
The Weight of Too Much
No one complains about having enough. Enough food, enough money, enough security; these are the markers of a good life. But what happens when “enough” turns into too much? When abundance, instead of liberating us, traps us? We don’t often think of excess as a burden. If anything, modern consumer…
From Self-Sufficiency to Community-Sufficiency: Rethinking Preparedness
I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos about homesteading and prepping lately. Partly because I find the whole idea fascinating; growing your own food, living off the land, being prepared for whatever the world throws at you. But also because, let’s be honest, things are looking shaky out there,…
Are You Still Alive?
The sky over Metropole Prime was the color of dead glass, a dull, perpetual twilight where the sun had been tamed by atmospheric regulators. Citizens moved in steady streams, their steps synchronized by the Neural Harmony Network. No one lingered. No one spoke beyond what was necessary. Erasmus-9 knew better…
