How to Use This Site
This site is designed to be read selectively. You do not need to agree with every premise—or read everything—to benefit from it.
Different readers come here for different reasons. The structure is intentional.
If You’re New
Start with:
- Start Here
- The Framework
These sections explain the core idea without relying on current events.
If You’re Skeptical of Media
You do not need to trust journalists or institutions to use this site.
Focus on:
- The Framework
- What Holds the Line
- Case Studies (process-focused)
This site examines incentives and behavior, not credibility claims.
If You’re Politically Engaged
If you follow politics closely:
- Read the essays first
- Then explore case studies
Avoid starting with individual cases. The framework is meant to precede examples.
If You’re Apolitical or Tired
You are not required to track every issue or actor.
This site exists to explain why systems can feel:
- less responsive
- less explainable
- harder to challenge
Even when nothing “big” appears to be wrong.
If You’re Sharing This Site
This site is designed to be:
- safe to share in workplaces
- usable in family discussions
- readable without context
If you’re sending a link, consider sharing:
- the homepage
- a single essay
- or the framework page
Rather than a case study.
What This Site Will Not Do
- Chase daily news
- Argue in real time
- Demand agreement
- Optimize for virality
Speed is not the goal. Durability is.
How Often It Updates
Infrequently.
New material is added only when it clarifies the framework, not when it reacts to events.
A Final Note
This site is not asking you to adopt a position.
It is offering a lens.
If the lens helps explain things you already sense, use it.
If not, feel free to set it aside.
That choice is part of what accountability requires.
