This literature serves as a valuable resource for a diverse range of individuals who are passionate about driving meaningful change.

My name is Muju Naeem, and I am the founder and sole writer of this blog.

My Mission

I created Unintuitive Discourse to provide a platform for thought-provoking ideas and conversations about our world. Drawing on my background in politics, media, public relations, activism, and a life of self-education, I bring my entire history of experiences and lessons learned, which has shaped my unique perspective and is reflected in my writing.

My mission is to redefine how we talk about politics and culture by approaching these topics through scientific, humanist, and evolutionary lenses while exploring the incentives that drive our society. Through my writing, I aim to inspire younger generations to be politically involved, engaged, and educated.

I will use my platform to share my thoughts and ideas on issues that matter to me and the world. Through my writing, I hope to encourage readers to think critically, question their assumptions, and engage in meaningful conversations about politics, culture, and the future of human civilization.

My Topics

Unintuitive Discourse is designed for individuals who want to be politically involved and engaged, and who are interested in exploring new ways of thinking about the world. Through this blog, I aim to inspire and educate readers, encouraging them to actively participate in shaping the world around them.

My writing is designed to be engaging, informative, and thought-provoking. I strive to present complex ideas in a clear and accessible manner. It's important to note that my writings are intended to make us all think together rather than impose my thoughts.

This blog is a space where readers can challenge their assumptions, learn from one another, and explore new ideas. I explore current events, ideas, and social trends through a critical lens, inviting readers to engage in thoughtful conversations about these issues. This blog covers a wide range of topics, including but not limited to free speech, Bitcoin & money, Humanism & civilization, science & technology, politics, culture, activism, and my home country of Maldives.

Additionally, this blog serves as a personal journal for me to explore the art of clear thinking through writing and engage in discussions, challenges, and questioning of my thoughts. Through this platform, I exercise my reasoning and logic skills, further deepening my understanding of the nature of my own thoughts.

Force Multiplied by Artificial Intelligence

At Unintuitive Discourse, I believe in harnessing the power of technology to amplify my impact and reach. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into my writing and workflow since 2023, I leverage their power to delve deeper into complex issues, uncover patterns, identify trends, and explore connections that may not be immediately apparent. This enhances my ability to provide a comprehensive and nuanced perspective and deliver insightful content to my readers. AI serves as a force multiplier for my mission of fostering critical thinking, challenging the status quo, and promoting humanist activism. Through AI-powered tools, I uncover hidden insights, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the topics I cover.

By leveraging AI, I aim to enhance the quality and relevance of my content, ensuring that my readers receive thought-provoking insights and up-to-date information. The synergy between human intelligence and AI capabilities allows me to navigate the vast amount of information available and distill it into meaningful narratives and analyses.

I retain full editorial decision-making authority and overall guidance of the content. AI serves as a valuable assistant in my writing process, acting as a writing assistant, research aide, and editorial partner. It helps me identify relevant sources, generate ideas, and provide critical feedback on the clarity and coherence of my writing. Additionally, AI plays a role in analyzing data, identifying trends, and suggesting new perspectives for exploration.

While AI assists in various aspects of my work, including content creation and analysis, this blog and its content serve as a testament to how AI can be leveraged and utilized for activism. It is important to highlight that while AI plays a role in shaping the final output, I always exercise human judgment, critical thinking, and ethical considerations to ensure that the content remains insightful, unbiased, and aligned with my core Humanist values. The responsible use of AI in this context demonstrates the potential of technology in advancing meaningful change and promoting a more just society.

Join me as I harness the power of AI to push the boundaries of knowledge, deepen our understanding of complex issues, and deliver high-quality, thought-provoking content that challenges the status quo and fosters critical thinking. Through this dynamic partnership between human intellect and AI capabilities, I strive to provide a unique and engaging experience for my readers.

Together, let's embark on this journey as we harness the power of AI to push the boundaries of knowledge, deepen our understanding of complex issues, and drive positive change in the world.

About me

I am a passionate writer, thinker, and advocate for free speech, humanism, and critical thinking. With a background in politics, media, public relations, and activism, I bring my wealth of experience and knowledge to my blog, Unintuitive Discourse, which serves as a platform for thought-provoking ideas and conversations at the intersection of culture, politics, money, technology, civilization, science, and humanism.

I was accepted into Canada's Urgent Protection Programme (UPP) three months after submitting my UNHCR application in March 2017, and I am currently resettled in Canada as a political refugee. Looking back, I can appreciate how fortunate I was to move through the UNHCR asylum process so fast. Despite living a private life due to valid safety concerns, I remain committed to advancing humanist worldviews and thinking in mainstream political thought. I have made is my quest to contribute towards redefining the discourse on politics and culture with a focus on the importance of scientific, humanist, and evolutionary approaches. I believe that by exploring our incentive mechanisms and promoting open and honest dialogue, we can work towards creating a more inclusive, fair, just, and equal society. As a self-identified future ethicist and political humanist, I am a passionate advocate for the separation of money and state.

My autodidactic journey has led me to explore a diverse array of topics, from Bitcoin and economics to history, anthropology, society, science, technology, AI, psychology, philosophy, human nature, and self-help. I view the human body through the mental model of a "meat-robot," analogously explaining most aspects of the human body and mind through the language of computer science and robotics.

With a well-informed and defensible view of Bitcoin, I see it as a catalyst for aligning human incentives, reducing violence and wars, promoting better decision-making, and enabling our species to strive towards higher aspirations. I am dedicated to fostering critical thinking, nurturing informed, politically engaged citizens, and embracing self-directed learning as a testament to my dedication to building a better future for all.

My writings and reflections are shaped by my personal journey from Islam to atheism, my ongoing struggle for democracy and secularism in the Maldives, and my insightful views for men about and support of feminist women and various movements that inspire change. My commitment to inspiring and educating readers is reflected in my writings, my background, and my approach to writing as a form of politics.

Living a life of intellectual courage and curiosity, I aim to contribute an influential voice in the realm of ideas but also an unwavering advocate for humanism and critical thinking. My dedication to fostering a more inclusive, fair, just, and equal society is a testament to my commitment to building a better future for all.
