Welcome to Unbound Inquiry!

Hi, my name’s Kent Brede. I’m a retired Linux System Administrator. I created this Substack to explore ideas and learn in public. I’ve always been interested in fundamental philosophical questions about being human. But as I inch closer to the edge of nonexistence, I want to look closer and dig deeper into these questions. Through the act of writing and connecting with others, I'm hoping to do just that.

Some of the topics I write about:

  • The pursuit of meaning and human flourishing

  • Strategies for thinking more clearly

  • Perspectives on free will and determinism

  • Explorations on ethics, morals, principles, and values

  • Political systems and governance

  • How evolution has shaped the human mind

Why Unbound Inquiry?

  • I chose the name Unbound Inquiry because I didn’t want to restrict what I write about. I’ve described my main focus for this space, but I know from experience that my intentions can often take a sharp turn.

I’m requesting your support:

  • What I write here is freely available to all readers. While monetary contributions are welcome, what I seek is engaged dialogue and shared curiosity.
