The Inner Monologue

The antique cliché, “It is as easy to love a rich man as a poor man,” has long been dismissed as a cynical wink at human nature. It was a phrase born in a time when marriage was often an economic arrangement, not a romantic one, and where the comfort of silk sheets seemed to…

Civilization has always imagined its own end, but rarely with the accuracy of the technologists and scientists who made it possible. Every era has its prophets of doom — and while most predictions of apocalypse have faded into legend, some have materialized precisely as foretold, not through divine wrath or cosmic fate, but through the…

We are taught, almost reflexively, to respect the office — the presidency, the governorship, the bench, the badge, the pulpit. This teaching is meant to cultivate stability. It reminds us that the institution stands above the individual, that the structure of law and duty must persist regardless of who occupies the seat. Without this distinction,…

America’s definition of “affordable housing” has quietly evolved from the cost of a home to the cost of a monthly payment. It’s a linguistic sleight of hand that transforms impossibility into plausibility. As home prices climb beyond the reach of ordinary buyers, the mortgage industry extends its reach not through charity, but through time. The…

Introduction You’ve probably seen power banks (portable chargers) with big numbers like “10,000 mAh” or even “20,000 mAh” on them.

It’s just harmless nonsense, right? People believe dumb things all the time—what’s the big deal? Except, of course, when those people become your doctor, your…

Ah, the age-old political strategy: Things are bad, and it’s all their fault. Who’s them? Doesn’t matter! The point isn’t that they are actually the problem—the point is that someone must be. And if you, dear citizen, want to feel better about your miserable existence, all you have to do is agree that those people…

Let’s talk about intelligence—or, more accurately, let’s talk about how most people don’t want to talk about intelligence because they’ve already decided they’re secretly in the top 1%. Spoiler alert: They’re not. If we could measure general intelligence with perfect accuracy (which we can’t, but play along), we’d find a delightful bell curve where most…
