Essays and conversations about big ideas that don't need a news hook.

All the things that are too spicy, long, or a bit of a stretch for proper media to run. Thoughts and opinions conveyed are punishingly my own.

I probe the greatest, cruellest and most beautiful minds of the past 5,000 years, inspired by my book, "The Soul: A History of the Human Mind". Join me exploring the ideas you haven't time to - free to your inbox every Thursday.
