A rabbit-hole

"Searching anything online started to feel empty — because it was empty. The words felt empty."— why this exists

"We are not experts. We are fascinated by obsessed people. We are obsessed with obsessed people."— the whole idea

"The one person allowed to tell the king the truth — precisely because he had nothing to sell him."— on the fool, card zero

"Not everything. Just what I'm interested in. My corner of the internet."— the promise

i. A sneak — recent descents

The latest rabbit holes. Each one is a long, sourced dive into a single thing worth being curious about — read in the original languages, honest about its limits, every claim traceable.

ii. Why a fool built this

"Whenever I searched anything online, it felt empty — because it was empty. The words fell empty. The articles were written by people who were salesmen instead of obsessed — a chamber of things repeating and regurgitating, echoing into each other."

iii. How this is different

Every rabbit hole here is researched and drafted with AI, then curated, sourced and verified by a human — me. That seam is marked on every piece, never hidden. The difference isn't the machine; it's the human hand on top of it — someone who actually fell into the subject, read it in the original languages, and cared enough to keep it honest.

So it reads differently from what you're used to: not the first page of Google, optimised by salesmen to be found; not a chatbot's thin, confident shrug; not raw AI. It's a real person's obsession, with the receipts attached.

The proof rides along on every piece — an honest tier of evidence, the languages consulted, and a colophon of every source, so you can check the fool yourself. Read the method →

iv. And the human hand

Between the research, my own work — photographs, drawings, field notes — and clusters of the obsessions that inspire me. Plainly marked as human, never the machine.
