People know I love mythologies and similar ideas. “Similar ideas” encompasses quite a few fields, and I think most people use the different terms pretty interchangeably.

On Writing
Oh the irony: I’ve intended all day long to write about why I don’t write about politics, and now I can’t tear myself away from the incoming Brexit results to write any post. A thought-provoking Tweet I think I love: Whatever the outcome, I love that there’s a vote on […]
