History Is a Theory. Start Treating It Like One.

History is presented as fact. It is not. It is a collection of theories, interpretations, and narratives shaped by the same flawed, self-interested humans who run the world today. If we can watch governments manipulate the record in real time in 2026, it is naive to think it was any different a thousand or five thousand years ago. This essay argues that dead languages cannot be definitively translated, that archaeological certainty is constantly being revised, and that even events captured on video remain disputed. Intellectual honesty about the past is not cynicism. It is simply the truth.

What’s Wrong With Loving Everyone Equally?

This essay challenges the instinct to feel automatic loyalty toward people who share our identity traits such as gender, race, nationality, or religion.

The piece makes the case for universal humanism, the idea that moral concern should extend equally to all people, regardless of the group they belong to.

The Arrogance of Certainty: How “Egyptologists” Pretend to Know the Impossible

This essay dismantles the arrogance of modern “Egyptologists” who claim to know precisely how the pyramids were built despite glaring contradictions in their explanations. It argues that hauling multi-ton stones hundreds of feet high using primitive tools is implausible, that key evidence (like missing mummies) undermines the tomb theory, and that academic certainty is just another form of dogma. The piece calls for humility, suggesting that the Egyptians may have inherited rather than constructed these structures, and ends by asserting that true science thrives on curiosity, not the illusion of knowing everything.
