Welcome to Steelsnowflake!

​

After eight years of writing here, my goal for 2025 is to continue publishing engaging long-form essays on various topics in the humanities. My bet is that people are still willing to read something that requires a few minutes of time and attention and 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 interests you. I write about 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, please let me know if you like (or hate) something you read. It's good to hear from other readers. I'm one, too. We have that in common, and I suspect a whole lot more.

 

As always, thanks for stopping by.
