Writer | Psychology Enthusiast | Emotional Systems Thinker

I write about the overlooked architecture behind human behavior — from fragile self-belief systems to how we mistake coping for competence.

My work centers on a deceptively simple premise: we can’t fix what we can’t admit — especially when what needs fixing is how we defend our own identity.

Through essays on emotional skill gaps, cognitive self-deception, AI alignment, and the psychology of conflict, I explore why so many of us resist the discomfort of being wrong — and how that resistance shapes politics, relationships, technology, and self-growth alike.

Key themes in my writing:

-Self-deception and the illusion of moral or intellectual superiority

-The hidden cost of emotional avoidance, pride, and unhealed trauma

-What “being wrong” can teach us (if we let it hurt just enough to remember)

-Intellectual humility as a survival skill — not a virtue signal

-How emotional infrastructure underpins real cooperation and future AI alignment

I'm also the creator of the Humble Self-Concept Method — a mental and emotional reframing model supported by a free, interactive GPT on ChatGPT that helps users uncover, examine, and re-engineer their internal belief systems with care and clarity.
