My objective in these essays isn’t to deliver a verdict or tell people what to think.
I’m more interested in building a clean, well-lit arena where the facts, the incentives, and the human costs can be seen at the same time—so readers can argue with the ideas, test their own assumptions, and leave with sharper questions than they arrived with.
If there’s an “opinion” in the work, it’s secondary to the real aim: to provoke discussion and real cogitation, the kind that keeps working on you after you close the page.
