About

Most stories arrive pre-explained. The headline carries the conclusion, the framing is already set, and the reader's job is to agree or disagree with something that was decided before they got there. Zero Parsec works in the other direction. Start with something that doesn't quite add up. Pull the thread. See where it leads.

The subjects vary. What connects them is a preference for questions that look simple until you sit with them, and for the kind of writing that trusts the reader to follow an argument without being told what to think about it along the way.

Everything here is long-form, researched, and written only when there's something to say. No publishing schedule. No volume for its own sake. If a piece is here, it's because the work is done and the thinking held up.

Zero Parsec is written with interest in the structures behind the stories people tell themselves, and in what happens when those structures are examined honestly.
