About Fogwalker

Most people who are confident about how the world works haven’t examined where that confidence came from. They’re everywhere now — opinion columns, podcast monologues, Reddit threads written like closing arguments for cases no one filed. Thirty minutes of reading, forty years of certainty.

The internet didn’t invent this, but it industrialized it. Engagement metrics reward the loudest take in the room, and otherwise smart people gradually stop forming positions and start performing them.

Fogwalker is where I write about that. Essays on media culture and book reviews. If that sounds worth your time, subscribe.
