Why are any of us hereā¦ but why am I specifically here on Substack sharing my writing? Well..
For starters, I love writing. I adore it, the process, the letters, sentence structure, playing with grammar, all of it. My interests include health - specifically mental health, philosophy, politics, sociology, literature and science among others. I follow the thoughts and ideas of Baruch Spinoza, Bertrand Russell, Carlo Rovelli, Frank Zappa, Gottfried Leibniz, Zadie Smith, Buckminster Fuller, Christopher Hitchens, Groucho Marx, Umberto Eco, Daniel Kahneman, Philip K. Dick, Rosa Luxemburg, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, TH Huxley and many more.
I have been through psychosis and have come out the other end, so I have a pretty good comprehension of what the Christians call hell. I am also a teatotaller.. well, I don't even drink tea, what's that called? I also adore poetry, if you look above carefully, there is a subtle rhyme plugged in to the innocent scribbles.
My aim with this substack is to share my research and writing with you. To engage you in thought patterns and cognitive leaps that mainstream outlets might not necessarily provoke in you - and to do this with humour, zest, geist and gusto!
Thank you for your interest. The pen might be mightier than the sword but it's hard to slice cheese with a pen.
Or is it?
