Dear Readers,

It is time to evolve.

I’ve publicly shared my words on these pages over the years to hone my writing skills, strengthen my voice, and rediscover my values and principles. The trial & error period has ended, and this site is getting a major facelift as I prepare to release my first book in Spring 2026:

Evolving to Extinction: An [un]serious condemnation of our uniquely human behavior

After observing a dozen or two ways in which we behave very oddly compared to the rest of the species on this planet, I thought it would be fun to highlight those behaviors in a satirical way while subtly addressing the serious state of affairs in the world today. From the back cover:

We’re not as great as we think we are… 

Some humans may claim otherwise, but we are without question a peculiar and at best mediocre species. We do weird things in our world within a world, from our incessant need to keep busy, to the odd ways we feed our population, to our ludicrous waste management behavior. 

We stand out from the crowd in astonishing ways.

Welcome to the most random, seemingly unrefined, borderline irreverent, arguably sensible, and debatably funny critique of human behavior that you’ll ever get your hands on. Have a laugh at this silly species of ours as we explore 19 unique behaviors that set us apart from every other creature roaming the earth.

Embrace the uncomfortable realization that we’re not as great as we think we are…

…and that’s okay.

You can read a few sample chapters here: Read Sample Chapters

I’ll also be distributing advanced reader copies of the full book in March. If you are interested in receiving a free advance copy in exchange for a review prior to launch, sign up here: Advanced Reader Copy Sign-up form.

One subtle note to my astute observers out there: I created this form through the company google workspace I created to publish the book (Empathy Echoes LLC).

Be bold.

Stand tall.

Kill with kindness.

Thanks for reading, and I wish you all well in this most insane of times.
