Podcast Overview

Reckoning is for people who'd rather see clearly than feel comfortable. Every week* in Reckoning, I take something we've accepted as normal — the way corporations weaponise values, the way governments extract wealth through a thousand small transactions, the way we perform identities that slowly hollow us out, the way purpose gets packaged and sold to people who haven't done the difficult work of finding their own — and I examine it without flinching and without pretending there's an easy fix. *Currently catching up on previously published articles by adding the voiced version here

The Repeat Cycle

How To Stop ‘Starting Over’ and Finally Move ForwardThere they are again - middle-aged men in Lycra, riding two abreast on your route, adorned in colours so fluorescent you could hear them if you closed your eyes. Safety yellow. Emergency orange. That particular shade of blue that seems scientifically engineered to assault retinas. They project an image of athletic prowess, weekend warriors conquering tarmac with the seriousness of Tour de France contenders. Meanwhile, the driver stuck behind them at 15 miles per hour likely has a rather different perspective on this spectacle.But this isn’t about that kind of cycling.This is about something far more insidious: the psychological cycling we all do, the maddening mental roundabout where déjà vu isn’t some mysterious feeling of prior similarity but an absolute, gut-wrenching recognition that we have been here before. And here we bloody go again.

The Credentialed Charade

When Learning equates to Indoctrination Walk into any hiring meeting and watch the ritual unfold. CVs scattered across conference tables, each one dissected not for evidence of thinking, but for proof of compliance. Did they attend the right university? Possess the approved certifications? Complete the sanctioned programmes? The autodidact - a person who learned because they wanted to, not because someone told them to - gets shuffled to the bottom of the pile, dismissed as ‘unqualified’ by people whose greatest intellectual achievement was successfully regurgitating information in examination halls.We've created a credentialing industrial complex that mistakes institutional attendance for intelligence, confusing the ability to follow instructions with the capacity to think. Meanwhile, the very people driving innovation, challenging assumptions, and pushing boundaries are being systematically excluded from opportunities because they dared to learn without permission.

The Free-Thinking Myth

Why Your Mind Isn't as Independent as You Think Here's an uncomfortable question: when was the last time you genuinely changed your mind about something important? Not refined your position, not adjusted your emphasis, not found new reasons to support what you already believed - but admitted you were wrong and adopted a fundamentally different view?If you're struggling to remember, you're not alone. Despite our proud declarations about being 'free thinkers' and 'independent minds,' most of us are running sophisticated mental software designed to protect our existing beliefs from any inconvenient encounters with contradictory evidence.We're not as intellectually independent as we think we are. And that's the first uncomfortable truth we need to confront if we want to have any hope of genuine intellectual growth.
