About Me

One of my life’s missions is to ground ethics in a naturalistic foundation—making questions of right and wrong answerable through the same methods that have helped us understand the physical world.

Alongside this, I’m deeply interested in the nature of understanding itself: what it means to know something, what constitutes truth, and what creates intelligence.

I started this newsletter to expand on and publicize the ideas in these areas that I first outlined in a very short book, Freedom and Morality.

I’m also the founder of the Universal Open Textbook Initiative, building the world’s largest repository of high-quality, multilingual open textbooks to improve the quality and accessibility of educational resources worldwide.
