Welcome to webzetetic!

My name is Tom.

I don’t have any credentials or specific expertise in anything, just intellectual curiosity, critical thinking skills, and a willingness to speak my mind. I hope something I write enlightens, entertains, educates, or inspires you. If not, I will not force you to read anymore, you may go. If so, do me a solid and pay it forward.

I chose the name webzetetic for this newsletter because I have used it as an online alias for a long time (in some places) and it is fit for purpose. The word ‘zetetic’ means “proceeding from inquiry”, and that is how I live my life. I question everything, including and especially authority. (The ‘web’ is because once upon a time someone else beat me to the punch using ‘zetetic’ as a login.)

Mostly talking about Palestine, but also general thoughts about politics, sociology, economics, and culture.

I write about current and historical Palestine and its liberation, as a middle-aged, white American who only started learning about it after Operation Al-aqsa Flood (10/7/23). I value critical thinking and intellectual honesty. @tom on UpScrolled.
