Things you may not have known, things you may not have thought about or simply things or perspectives to consider.
‘Paradoxical Behaviors and Uninformed Advocacy‘ seems like a weird title, but the truth is that human behavior is often contradictory. We find ourselves endorsing causes, policies, or actions that, upon closer inspection, don’t align with our true beliefs or best interests. This phenomenon isn’t just a quirk of human nature—it’s deeply rooted in cognitive processes […]
Back in 2013, I wrote an article talking about the importance of hydrogen fuel in our future. Indeed, the future of energy is being shaped by clean, sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. While solar and wind have garnered much attention, hydrogen power is gaining traction in the transportation industry, with major players like BMW and […]
What are your core values? Are you willing to defend them? Are you willing to change them if someone you trusted asked you to? Are you willing to compromise them for the sake of convenience or to avoid a fight? Let’s find out. If you have followed my work, you probably know that the ascent […]
Learned helplessness is a condition in which an individual feels powerless to change or control their situation, even when opportunities for change are available. This phenomenon was first identified by psychologists Martin Seligman and Steven Maier in the late 1960s during experiments with dogs.

The recent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump has merely demonstrated how deep-seated cognitive biases and social dynamics can shape how individuals interpret and respond to information. In many ways, this situation provides us with a stark illustration of what I’m now calling Mass Epistemic Rigidity. Indeed, this article runs the risk of being […]
In an unusual incident that unfolded in Lee County, Florida, a woman was apprehended after she attempted to steal a car and, in a bizarre twist, called 911 to report her own crime. The woman believed that by informing the police of her intentions, she could somehow render the theft legal. This peculiar behavior highlights […]
