What is Scattered Roses?
Welcome to Scattered Roses, the personal substack of Withered Rose. Here you will find my musings on philosophy, political theory, attempts to find concrete solutions to the problems of the modern world, and occasional poetry. Not everything here reflects my current views, as I am continually learning, but even posts I now find to be fraught with errors were good faith attempts at the truth, and will hopefully still prove useful for reflection.
To make navigation easier, below is a directory of all my blog posts. As new posts come out, this page will be updated.
