Founder’s Story

Call me your guide. Call me your teacher. Call me what you like. I like to call myself your "Zeitguide," which means Guide to the Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist is a German word for the spirit of the times. It is my deep desire that my work inspires you to understand how our world is changing and what it means for YOU.

RACISM AND MISINFORMATION IN THE CORONA-AGE

This newsletter was written right when coronavirus was still an epidemic spreading within mainland China. It explores the following:

  • How today's media landscape impacts culture in the fiercest way in history. In the past, we mostly got our information from TV and printed news. But now with social media, we are seeing a plague develop in real-time.
