How Authenticity Grounds Congruence—and Why Credibility Emerges Not from Image, but from Epistemic and Existential Alignment This article reclaims authenticity from the content-driven theatrics of emotional exposure and curated self-expression, restoring it as a rigorous ontological quality: your relationship with reality. Drawing on the Being Framework, it reframes authenticity not as a performative trait but as a disciplined mode of Being—shaped by epistemic rigour, perceptual accura...

A system designed to delay, deny, and defer—until dignity becomes a luxury and urgency a liability. This piece is not merely about medicine. It is about the architecture of dysfunction: the systems we create, the values we betray, and the staggering absence of integrity that turns care into theatre and urgency into protocol. It begins with two contrasting encounters. One involves a child in crisis. The other, a pet dog. Through biting clarity and unsettling familiarity, the article shows...

Through five subtly revealing masks—Hyper-Coherence...

Why Refusing to Fit In Isn’t a Branding Strategy—It’s a Stand for Authentic Identity and Ontological Integrity In a world obsessed with clarity, branding, and instant categorisation, those who refuse to fit neatly into a label often find themselves misunderstood, misread, or ignored. This article explores the rare and rebellious virtue of being dangerously hard to label, not as a strategy, but as a natural consequence of living with integrity, depth, and ontological coherence.

How the Boldness of Bad Faith Distorts Reality, Manufactures Credibility and Performs Sympathy for the Suffering It Created—Disguised as a Commitment to Sustainability This article exposes the anatomy of audacity not as charisma or courage, but as a structural weapon and gall systematised into theatre. When dominant powers manufacture crises, impose sanctions, destabilise nations, and then perform moral superiority or staged sympathy, what we are witnessing is not hypocrisy. It is ontologic...
