# bermansplaining — Ethan Berman

Ethan Alexander Berman is a writer based in Las Vegas, NV. He writes
"bermansplaining" — essays on 21st-century epistemology: the historical,
political, philosophical, and legal context of the current liberal-capital
order and the reactions against it — plus build logs from a self-hosted
local-AI computer lab. He is an attorney by trade.
