About ME

Matthew is a philosopher and author that focuses predominantly on navigating the most difficult topics and questions that plague humanity. He is known for speaking his mind in an honest and forthright manner and he encourages others to do the same.

He created and hosts The Modest Rebel Podcast, which serves as a platform for complex and potentially controversial material while emphasizing the importance of truth in the pursuit of human meaning and the maintenance of the stable human individual. He is fearless in discussion and debate and he seeks to make open and honest conversations part of the public square.

Matthew’s main areas of interest are theories of knowledge, archetypal models of wisdom, morality and ethics, and the interplay of philosophy, evolutionary theory and the human condition.

the song and the swallow: authenticity and love

Our need for meaning and substance is ubiquitous in the human condition, but how do we reliably find meaning? How are we susceptible to doing it the wrong way? What does this look like, what is produced, and why we should avoid it?

Using archetypal themes found in Greek mythology, readers are challenged to contemplate how Medusa’s role as the devouring mother is relevant today. Whether in relationships between parents and child, significant others, or even governments and citizens, how we care and fail to care authentically shapes our world. Thought-provoking and probing, this encourages readers to examine, challenge, and reroute in the pursuit of “authentic love.”

Join in the courageous pursuit of meaning with fearless and honest discussions, and maybe a splash of insanity.
