Unintuitive Discourse: Literature for Humanist Activism

A Catalyst for Humanist Activism


Welcome to Unintuitive Discourse, a blog dedicated to fostering critical thinking and challenging conventional beliefs in politics, culture, and beyond. It is literature for humanist activism—where I analyze issues through the lenses of humanism, science, and evolution while also championing the philosophy of Bitcoin Humanism, which merges classical liberalism, political humanism, and libertarian principles.

Although my writing addresses a broad audience—human rights activists, public servants, grassroots organizers, policymakers, political leaders, community leaders, social entrepreneurs, educators, students, and more—its core focus is on Bitcoin adoption advocates who already grasp the fundamentals of decentralized money. Building on that knowledge, I demonstrate how a separation of money and state can strengthen individual sovereignty and challenge entrenched power structures. My stance is anti-Marxist and anti-Communist, rejecting centralized monetary control and authoritarian economic models.

By integrating humanist thought with decentralized money, I believe we can foster greater economic freedom, safeguard human rights, preserve the right to self-determination and personal autonomy, and counter the dangers of unfettered globalism.

My Mission

I created Unintuitive Discourse to:

  1. Promote critical thinking by examining how monetary systems and technology shape power dynamics and the structural incentives that guide our societies.

  2. Redefine political and cultural conversations through a fusion of humanist values, classical liberalism, and libertarian ideals, recognizing decentralized money as a bulwark against authoritarian governance, while also examining these issues through scientific, humanist, and evolutionary perspectives.

  3. Empower future generations to remain politically engaged, well-informed, and vigilant in defending individual liberties—even amid widespread collectivist discourse and relentless global pressures.

I encourage readers to question assumptions, challenge the status quo, and remain curious about the world around them. By critiquing our own beliefs and integrating cutting-edge perspectives, we can steer society toward greater justice, equality, and inclusion—all while preserving the sovereignty and freedom that come with decentralized, neutral money.

AI as a Force Multiplier

Since 2023, I have integrated artificial intelligence into my research, writing, and editorial workflow. By harnessing AI to identify patterns, analyze data, and refine my ideas, I aspire to:

  • Deliver sharper insights and comprehensive analysis.

  • Expand perspectives on urgent topics (from politics to tech breakthroughs).

  • Maintain editorial authority at every step, ensuring ethical and humanist values guide the final output.

AI is my assistant and research partner, revealing nuanced angles I might otherwise overlook. Ultimately, though, all commentary aligns with my human judgment and a commitment to scientific thinking, empathy, and equity.

About Me


My name is Muju Naeem. I am a writer, thinker, autodidact and activist committed to free speech, humanism, and critical thinking. My background spans politics, media, public relations, activism, and a lifelong dedication to self-directed learning.

My Path & Background

  • Refugee in Canada – After applying to the UNHCR in March 2017, I resettled in Canada through the Urgent Protection Programme. Reflecting on that experience, I feel fortunate to have navigated the asylum process so swiftly.

  • Intellectual Evolution – I journeyed from Islam to atheism, advocating for democracy and secularism in the Maldives.

  • Bitcoin Advocacy – I see Bitcoin as a tool to align incentives, reduce conflicts, and promote more thoughtful decision-making on a global scale.

  • Humanist Worldview – I believe in open dialogue, scientific skepticism, and evolutionary thinking as critical pillars for a just, inclusive world.

My writing is both a personal journal of thought exploration and a public invitation for readers to engage in meaningful, constructive discourse.
