Essays, insights, or both? You choose.

Take control of what lands in your inbox.

You probably didn’t sign up for Mindful Sceptics to get more stuff in your inbox. We think you came for clarity, friction, and a way of thinking that resists the trivia the algorithms send you.

That’s why we’ve restructured the Mindful Sceptic Substack into two distinct streams, and you have full control over what you receive and when…

Mindful Sceptic is our familiar newsletter, with commentary, curated ideas, and practical tools for sharper thinking. Now sent every two weeks and moving to Tuesday.

Uncomfortable Intelligence Clear Thinking for the Long Emergency are big-picture essays (4,000–6,000 words) that dismantle comforting myths and explore the systems shaping our century. Sent every second Sunday, in the alternate week to the main newsletter.

You can opt for either or both.

👉 Choose your preferences here

Whatever you pick, it’s still free and still guided by the same principle of mindful scepticism as a tool for intellectual survival.

First essay drops on 17 August.
