Two decades as a federal criminal investigator, including executive protection for the Secretary of Defense, have taught me that critical thinking matters more than credentials. So do cultural and ideological differences: I've worked and traveled across 25 countries on six continents, and came of age in communist Cuba before building a life in America.
This is a space for serious thinking without academic gatekeeping. The most interesting ideas live at the intersections. I write about the ones worth arguing about.
