I'm not worried about transgender girls/women playing girls'/women's sports or what bathroom they use. I'm worried about transgender/non-binary people suffering from suicide and suicidal despair at rates far higher than the rest of the population ...

Elections! Why Real Change is Not Forthcoming.
November 1, 2024
Voting is important but it is not nearly enough on its own. There’s a reason that no matter who wins we can be sure that income and wealth inequality will continue to widen, the average person will have to work more hours per week for the same essentials, socioeconomic mobility will keep declining, women’s health will remain at risk, children will be gunned down in classrooms, gay rights will be under attack ...

Who Were the Amalekites? (And the Israelites for that Matter)
September 24, 2024
At first glance, a novel set in ancient Israel, about 2700 years ago, might not seem all that relevant in the year 2024. But then the prime minister of modern Israel, facing domestic corruption charges and international atrocity crimes, invokes one of the principal themes of There Came Darkness in the context of an ongoing conflict in the Middle East ...

The Crimes Against Haiti and Haitians Continue
September 10, 2024
I find it really hard to adequately convey the sheer extent and audacity of the crimes Western Colonizers—the U.S. in particular—have committed, and continue to commit, against Haitians. But now that Haitians are being publicly denigrated with the most racist of tropes by leaders of a major U.S. political party, including their nominee for POTUS and VP, I think I’ll give it a try ...

To the long-suffering wealthy nations of the world who are fed up with immigrants coming to your countries:
Let me begin by asking just how the f*ck do you think we got here? Remember, it was you, the Western Colonizers and Imperialists, who encroached upon their lands when they were minding their own business.

Putting Human Rights First to Solve the Polycrisis, or Metacrisis

The Tiny Dots of a Cosmic Masterpiece
August 11, 2024
There are tiny dots in the night sky that are bigger than our entire solar system and these tiny dots represent an unfathomably minute slice of the celestial bodies floating about the universe at any given moment in time. Within the faintest hint of every passing shadow within these pinpricks of light that have traveled millions or billions of light years to reach our eye, entire civilizations ...

The conceptual framework for quantum computing was developed in the 1980s, and for a couple decades, it was rarely discussed outside those erudite circles of theoretical physicists. But starting in the 2010s, it has grown into something of a Kitsune.
Kitsune, you ask?
If you’re acquainted with Japanese culture, you likely already know. A Kitsune is a mythical figure ...

The Idea Behind There Came Darkness: A Story Hiding Within a Story
July 21, 2024
I have always found it fascinating how the way we view the world shapes the world. The lives and fates of individuals and civilizations alike, driven by something as nebulous as perception. For this reason, I have consumed more than my fair share of reading material on topics relating to religion, mythology and philosophy. Or as the ancients would put it, the underlying truth to all things ...
