In late 2017 a group of us decided to start a general blog without any specific theme. Although the rhythm could not be maintained back then, we have found ourselves with a lot of time on our hands in 2020. The intent was (and still is) to practice writing and determine if any of us had the stomach (or time) to endure writing.

We have no agenda. It is true that the majority of us are dissatisfied with our jobs (or having none as of 2020), although that is not unusual, but for now this is only a hobby. We aren’t striving to get clicks with sensationalized headlines, we aren’t going to tailor our writings to what the demand is from readers for profit and we aren’t biased towards any agenda or central thesis. We try to write about the things that are important and interesting to us and share our views while being guided by facts or data. Most importantly we always remain open to reshaping these views and having them challenged by debate and free speech, or when the facts change.

When we set out to start writing in 2017, we did not anticipate that so many issues would be as contentious as they are in 2020. We strive to remain as apolitical as possible. There are far too many voices in that sphere and we are not certain they are helping matters. That said, we have removed some posts that were written in 2017 that we deemed outright or partially political in theme.
