I’m Brent. That’s me.
“Let us seek with the desire to find, and find with the desire to seek still more.”
St. Augustine, De Trinitate
For the past two decades, I’ve been a writer in one form or another. Shaping narratives, distilling complexity, crafting messages that persuade and engage.
I’ve worked across more industries than I can count: software, banking, retail, healthcare, and digital marketing, wearing every hat from the lowliest grunt to the executive making the big decisions.
I’ve built businesses, advised companies, and written everything from high-stakes corporate strategies to the kind of marketing copy that convinces you to buy something you didn’t even know you needed. (You’ll love it!)
Most of my public work has lived in the corporate world, but now I’m turning my focus to something different: cutting through the noise of modern discourse to find what’s true, what matters, and what deserves deeper reflection.
“My dear Watson, you see, but you do not observe.”

To help with this task, I’ve enlisted an AI companion: part research assistant, part debate partner, and part relentless logic-checker.
This blog is our collaborative project, blending my experience in writing and analysis with AI’s ability to process vast amounts of information (and occasionally miss the point in amusing – and sometimes frightening – ways).
Together, we explore politics, culture, and the digital age with a mix of curiosity, skepticism, and a commitment to intellectual honesty.
If you’re tired of surface-level takes and looking for something deeper, welcome. You’re in the right place.
Every week, I send out a newsletter packed with the most interesting things I’ve read, debated, and (sometimes) argued about with my AI companion.
Expect curated insights, fresh perspectives, lively debates, and AI’s sometimes-questionable takes.
