That's less than my daily traffic on Twitter.
So, why Chaos Theory?
Because Twitter isn’t the best platform for meaningful and thoughtful writing or discussion; it’s where you react to things and events through your own bias, and it works great for that purpose.
In my case, I absolutely enjoy writing, and with Chaos Theory, I am doing what I love most: trying to study, explore, and make sense of the most important theme of our time: Chaos. It’s out of this Chaos—driven by tech, demographics, and discovery—that the future will be shaped.
But there’s another reason: Having been a columnist for Express Tribune for 7 years, and published regularly for the Sydney Morning Herald, Foreign Policy, and numerous other media and policy outlets, I realized how deep the censorship runs in even the most 'prestigious' outlets. Essentially, I realized my writing was only valued if it served the interests of those in power.
So, what now?
I write for one purpose and one purpose alone: the public interest and what I believe will serve the greatest public good. Once you finally figure out who you write for, clarity in thought and power in words come naturally.
Expect more from me. And If you like my words, do subscribe. If you have already subscribed, consider getting a paid subscription. If you have a paid subscription, consider sending it out to your friends.
Thank you for all the love and support in helping me build Chaos Theory.
