Robert Webb
Bio
Freelance writer.
I write about all walks of life, from fiction to non-fiction, self-help to psychology, travel to philosophy.
I like to bring a sense of humor to serious topics, a splash of philosophical thinking, and a dash of weirdness.

Important Nonetheless
After many years working towards the best way of thinking, the clearest mind, I have come to find that you must train your mind, get to work, ask more for yourself, dream bigger and accept that your being is prone to suffering. Whether that is innate, learned, nature, nurture, whatever, it doesn't matter.

Stranded Deep
Day 1 Waves. Sound is the first sense to come back to me, lying on my back in some ungodly shape. As my eyes adjust to the blinding light I begin to feel the sensation of warmth across my skin, the suns warmth in particular. The sun has a very specific warmth, and this time I was tricked into believing I was somewhere pleasant for a moment. It was just then that it dawned on me, wasn’t I just on a fucking plane to Costa Rica? Where the fuck am I now? Why the fuck am I in a yellow raft in the middle of the fucking ocean? This is a dream right, surely this is a dream.

Koh Tao, Thailand, Part I
Ko Tao (also often Koh Tao; Thai: เกาะเต่า, pronounced [kɔ̀ʔ tàw], lit. ''Turtle Island'') This year I made a dream of mine a reality, and I hope to one day return to that dream, on the magical island of Koh Tao, in the Gulf of Thailand. Surrounded by white sandy beaches, incredibly complex coral reefs, world class diving, absolutely bonkers local cuisine and a vibe that is slow to wake up in the morning and late to go to bed at night, Koh Tao truly offers it all.

Why I want to be a Cult Leader
Nearly two thousand five hundred years ago men and woman would gather under the stoa of ancient Greece to learn first hand the lessons of the greatest thinkers of their time, maybe the greatest thinkers of all time. A place where discussion was paramount, learning was inevitable and being wrong a certainty. Sitting there, dressed in a robe or toga of some kind, alongside your fellow tribe, you wouldn’t have noticed, you had just joined a cult. As these leaders in thought went about their teachings, they were indoctrinating you into a new way of life, a new way of believing.

The End of Natural Birth?
“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race….It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded.”— Stephen Hawking
