@[email protected]I want to write a better world.
I am interested in two things:
1. How the world works
2. How we can make it better
My mission is to develop a deep understanding of how our world works — economically, politically, historically — and write to make it common knowledge.
I write wanting to address the problems in the world that keep us trapped in cycles of suffering.
