Welcome to ‘Chronicles of Collapse (with Jokes).’ I’m Dino Alonso, and I tell ancient stories that feel uncomfortably modern. If you've ever looked around and thought, “Wait… didn’t we already try this, and didn’t it end badly?”—you're in the right place. Here, we bury the unburied truths, roast the tyrants, and remember that wisdom didn't start with Instagram carousels. Tragedy has a lot to teach us. And sometimes it even has punchlines.

The Compass of Faith and Reason guides seekers to unite the sacred and the rational, finding wholeness where others see only division. A meeting place for thinkers: where faith deepens reason, and reason steadies faith, guiding us toward a more whole and humane life.
