What does Duck Tales have to do with the human condition? What do animal fables teach us about being human? How do religions tap into the same impulse that guides the creation of these stories? I made this episode long back for an old (and defunct) podcast of mine about animal fables and the clues they hold to understand religious thinking. Apologies in advance for the stilted narration and the less than perfect audio. I made this on an old phone using a mobile app.

The Colonial Roots of Starfleet

In this video, we examine the darker side of Star Trek's portrayal of exploration and how it reflects the legacy of imperialism and cultural domination.

Why I deleted my Twitter account

Hello everyone. I just wanted to make a video to mark the occasion of, it's actually a kind of a big thing because I have deleted my Twitter account.

What fools don't understand about Parliamentary democracy

In a democratic society, the power ultimately lies with the people. Elected officials are put in place to serve the public and make decisions that reflect the will of the people. However, it is crucial to understand that democracy is not a one-way street.

And of course, there were the promises from the early web about how "anyone" could start a business or a publication. Plenty of people did, but "anyone"?

Right Wing hijacks the inclusive agenda, again
