Hello,

Home of the philosophy of Jared Oxborrow aka The Musing Ox. You will find unified theory of human nature which is applied to storytelling, politics, and much more. The rabbit holes are deep around here, so dive in! or if its your first time here becoming familiar with the basic concepts might be a good idea!

The intro is a good place to start, and the essential concepts list will get you up and running with most of what you need to know to not feel lost, but if anything doesn’t make sense the glossary will be a good reference.

Welcome,

Jared

PS: The site is under construction. There is so much amazing stuff in the works. If you wish to help me have time and resources to focus on this project I would readily welcome and be extremely grateful for your support.
