Welcome to Steelsnowflake!

​

Going on seven years of writing here, my goal for 2024 is to keep publishing engaging long-form essays on various topics in the humanities. My bet is that people are still willing to read something requiring a few minutes of time and attention that wasn't created to shock, outrage, or sell you something you don't need. You get enough of that elsewhere. 

​

Since you're here, have a look around to see if anything catches your interest. I write on the topics I'm passionate about, mainly history, philosophy, literature, poetry, art, and whatever else comes to mind. Ideally, I like mixing these topics into a kind of humanities hodgepodge. After all, they're all the same thing: stories about people telling us truths about ourselves. 

 

Finally - and I hate that I have to say it - but the writing here will never be AI-generated. Good or bad, it's all me, written entirely by me, and always will be. I'll not let a robot do my thinking or writing for me. What's the point otherwise?

​

Anyway, let me know if you like (or hate) something you read. It's good to hear from other readers out there. I'm one too. We have that in common and, I suspect, a whole lot more.

 

As always, thanks for stopping by.
