Our crisis is not abstract. It’s about whether we still see one another as human. Camus challenges us to choose humanity over hate. buff.ly/ytiBQHK

The corruption of a society begins when we shrug off the killing of its thinkers and leaders. Camus said it in 1946. It’s true in 2025. buff.ly/ytiBQHK

Every act of political violence is a wound to our shared humanity. Camus knew the danger. His words echo today. buff.ly/ytiBQHK

Rebellion, in Camus’s sense, is not about overthrowing power. It’s about saying no to hate and yes to human dignity. We need that now more than ever. buff.ly/ytiBQHK

Camus warned that when we reduce people to symbols, violence follows. We are seeing it happen in real time. My reflections here. michaelkeen1.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

Outrageous. Also unsurprising in a country where everyone is expected to fall in line with Dear Leader's ideology about who should be murdered and who shouldn't be.

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Spot on, and I wrote an article out on Substack that recalls the 1946 Camus speech at Columbia and how it directly maps to today's world. michaelkeen1.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

The crisis today is not left vs right. It’s whether we choose humanity over hate. Camus’s words from 1946 feel written for us. buff.ly/0gV7zz8

Camus called it “the human crisis.” We are living it now. Our only way forward is rebellion—not revolution, but rebellion for dignity and life. buff.ly/0gV7zz8

The murder of a political figure is never just about politics. It’s about what we lose when we stop seeing each other as human beings. Camus saw this coming. buff.ly/0gV7zz8

Rewatching Viggo Mortensen’s reading of Camus’s 1946 speech, I couldn’t ignore how relevant his words feel now. Political violence is not abstract. It is tearing into our shared humanity. buff.ly/0gV7zz8

Camus asked in 1946: Can we watch a person’s death with indifference? That question hangs over us today. My latest piece explores why his warning matters now. open.substack.com/pub/michaelk...

The hype cycle around clean energy is deafening. But the fundamentals?

Less certain. More constrained. Often overlooked.

This isn’t just a policy challenge. It’s a national competitiveness issue. If we don’t align timelines, supply chains, and grid capacity, the clean energy future will stall.

Stockpiling is already happening. 50 GW of solar panels are sitting in warehouses. Expect more hoarding as timelines compress.

Transmission systems need to expand by 60% by 2030. But normalized capacity is actually declining. We’re racing forward with one foot on the brake.

Grid-ready land near substations is becoming more valuable than the projects themselves. Location is now a strategic moat and a source of distortion.
