Continue reading →: Section 2: Guts, eye and lungsI threw out the pills, diaper-strength underpants, and COPD pumps, told my guide, “I can manage now,” and packed a bag for the gym. I had a PVC floor laid. Today I noticed I’d forgotten last week’s cracked and stained tiles. My carnivore journey’s the same. I’ve forgotten the nasties…

Continue reading →: American Slavery Reparations: Who Should Pay Whom?Why should America pay African Americans for the “inconvenience of slavery”? The common narrative suggests white Americans profited from slavery and should therefore compensate black Americans for ancestral horrors. The facts tell a different, more complex story – one that challenges not just who benefited, but who should pay. By…

Continue reading →: Slavery… Humanity in ActionA few million years ago, when our ancestors were still more ape than human, tiny groups wandered the animal-made paths of darkest Africa. To encounter another group was terrifying – triggering pure fight-or-flight response, just as when wild dog packs clash over territory or chimpanzee troops collide in the forest.…

Perpetually ravenous, I became everyone’s leftover disposal unit – “Don’t let it go to waste, give it to Waste.” Carbs especially, but bits of fruit and a spoonful of vegetables served to fill a…

Perpetually ravenous, I was everyone’s leftover disposal unit – “Don’t let it go to waste, give it to ‘Waste.’” Carbs especially, but bits of fruit and a spoon of veg also served to fill a…

Continue reading →: Carnivore EconomicsHow I Learned Minimalism. “Every house has bags of bags,” mumbled our visitor, searching for something to pack his shoes in. I had to laugh—we’re a “carnivore house,” and as they say in Malaysian English, “What for plastics?” Let me show you what minimal really looks like. Our biggest waste…

I signed to donate my body to science. Now, I’m the one leaving them gasping on jungle walks, 50-year-old gym rats ask, “How?” Certain (ahem) perks of life roared back 😉…

In an age where adults often remain stuck at superficial understanding, and follow a preset political agenda, these stories challenge young people to think deeper, question assumptions, and look beyond convenient narratives.
