About This Substack: A Map for the Bewildered
Spoiler: If you’re here for dopamine hits and hot takes, this isn’t it. No bandwagons, no team chants, just function. Not why my side is better than yours, but how the world actually works.
Do you ever feel like something is fundamentally “off” in the 21st century? Not just a little off, but structurally off? As if the world runs on a set of rules you can sense but can’t quite name? You’re not alone. Millions feel it, that quiet intuition, hard to articulate, easy to dismiss.
This Substack is for you.
What Is “The System”?
Forget shadowy cabals and cartoon conspiracies (many of which may be plausibly real, but often exaggerated, and cannot be definitively proven). “The System” isn’t a secret handshake - it’s the visible-yet-unseen architecture of modern power. An interwoven web of institutions, incentives, narratives, and technologies that shape our lives no matter who’s in office or what the headlines scream.
Don’t just listen to what it says. Watch what it does.
What You’ll Find Here
This is a map for the bewildered. A lens that cuts through the noise and makes sense of the unease. We’ll decode:
The functional logic: How power actually operates, beneath the spin.
The shaping of self: How your thoughts and emotions are engineered — the “Human Being™.”
The hollowing of reality: Why everything feels abstract, disconnected, performative.
The illusion of choice: Why “justice is optional, compliance is mandatory.”
The true pace of change: Why the ground feels like it’s shifting faster than you can anchor.
This isn’t about joining a side. It’s about understanding the game.
