The spine
Why I am building this
Question what society tells us to do, and test it until a deeper truth shows up. My lane inside that is health, wellness and growth. This site is where I do that in public, with the sources attached.
Every episode starts with the same sentence: How can [the country's proudest title] have [the stat nobody talks about]? Denmark is the first one: How can the happiest country on earth have the highest cancer rate in the EU? The gap between a belief a country holds and a number nobody talks about is where the question starts.
I am going through 200+ countries and territories, one hidden truth at a time. Each country shows me one inherited norm about eating, moving, sleeping or belonging. The data tells me whether that norm holds up.
The five pursuits are one idea, not five projects. Travel shows me the norms other countries live by. Testing them against data tells me which ones hold. Turning that into community, products and better defaults for kids is what comes next.
Every number on this site has a source. If a stat cannot be traced to a primary source, it does not go on a page. Corrections go in the log with the date they were made.
You can do two things today. Follow the log, which is dated and public. Join the interest list.
I do not publish private lab results or family matters here. Those stay out on purpose.
