From time to time, I am moved to write a brief essay on a topic that interests me.

​

The trigger for such essays is generally but not always, a controversy that is currently pre-occupying the media and or the political class.

​

I am frequently provoked into writing by a conviction that today's generation of gurus, commentators, broadcasters and politicians, in common with the mass of the population, have abandoned reason in favour of a bizarre obsession with individualism.

​

This phenomenon often manifests itself in the form of lengthy heated debates in which the core issue, the obvious heart of the matter, is, with extraordinary mental agility, completely ignored.

​

Most of these essays can be found on the Third Rock Forum, a website I set up to encourage people who are still interested in facts and who remain capable of reason, to contribute constructive thoughts on the major issues currently confronting our flawed species.

​

Not surprisingly, the Third Rock Forum has very few members.
