What is Uncommon Sense?
They say common sense is not so common anymore. Using common sense in a polarised, irrational and emotional world, I try to share my thoughts on some of the largest problems both post-modern society, my country and my local community faces. From politics and diplomacy, to economics, policy, and the environment, my generation is coming of age in a dynamic world. This is a podcast + blog combination of a teenager who cannot help but observe the world around him; and has a something to say about it.
Because I believe an education is the only way our generation can solve the world's challenges, all of the proceeds gained from this blog + podcast will be donated to the World Literacy Foundation charity, who is dedicated to teaching boys and girls around the world to read and write. As their motto goes: "Knowing how to read and write can break the cycle of poverty", the 21st century's perhaps largest challenge.
Or, you can donate directly to our partner NGO The World Literacy Foundation to help our goal of promoting civilised discourse that will help solve the world's problems
