What is Black Shards? It’s a place for exploring and exposing, with appropriate measures of conviction and humility, the rights and wrongs of our world.
It’s a voice in the noise, far beneath the threshold of significance for the important, beholden to only one ideology: the truth.
It’s a dot on the radar, a spot on the web, shards of dark obsidian in the eyes of the self-appointed elite who think they possess the right to both dictate the questions and supply the answers. Does this offend you? If so, our job is done. No man (or woman) knows the entirety of the path. Humility before hubris.
Our Philosophy
At Black Shards, our guiding principle is simple but uncompromising: “Forgetting past mistakes is to repeat them.” We view the world with open eyes, recognizing it as an inherently flawed and frequently dangerous place. Rather than ignoring unpleasant realities, our mission is to reveal them. We strive to make the world a safer, more integral place by extolling basic truths and promoting common sense through the ideas we explore.
We are committed to the highest standards of quality in everything we produce. We understand that our narratives, opinions, and perspectives will not cater to everyone’s tastes or expectations—and we are entirely at peace with that. Instead of striving for universal agreement, we stand behind the fundamental, enduring value of the content we present, offering thought-provoking material for those ready to engage with it.
