This is a place for essays about power, political economy, and the land beneath the surface.
The writing here starts from a simple observation: the present moment is not random. It is the result of a historical process. Every decision made, every system built, every shift in power has led us here. We have the advantage of looking back. We can learn from history. We can study those who tried to understand it. We can analyse the patterns left behind.
These essays do not tell you what to think. They offer a way of looking at the world that allows you to think for yourself, to see the patterns behind the noise, to stop being a victim of forces you do not understand.
The rest is up to you.
