Welcome to the blog of the nonfiction blogger Dwayne Davies, aka “The Rational Metaphysician”. I am devoted to advocating rationality. I write articles on lots of subjects including but not limited to philosophy, science, technology, physics and economics and more! Whatever the subject, you will find yourself enthralled or challenged by the ideas!
Please take a look around at our articles featured below and if you like them, please consider sharing them!

Here are some of my major blogging projects. All are series that will be starting soon.
Broken Window Economics
There are those that implicitly believe that smashing windows is good for the economy. They might not put it so simply as this. Instead, they will insist that a war that destroys 70% of the windows of the industry of Europe is an economic boon.
If you want to find out why destroying a third of Europe is not an economic boon, then this is the blog series for you!
Debunking Homeopathy Awareness
Welcome to the world of homeopathy. Where less is more, water has magical powers, and you don’t need to prove anything.
This series will address the defence of homeopathy provided by Homeopathy Awareness. We will learn what homeopathy is, what it isn’t and we will see why there is no defence for this pseudoscientific nonsense.
The Inconvenient Maths
This is a series that uses mathematics to show the foolishness of a great many things. Currently planned topics include: the idiocy of homeopathic dilution, the stupidity of Musk’s assertion that the entire US could be powered by a grid of solar panels, and the improbability of Twitter Blue helping save Twitter.
