About The Tangent Bureau
Welcome to The Tangent Bureau.
A place for taking ideas a little too seriously—in the best possible way.
We don’t “debunk.”
We don’t mock.
We just follow the logic where it leads.
Sometimes that means running the numbers on sky-spraying conspiracy theories. Other times, it means walking through what it would actually take to replace fossil fuels, grow all your own food, or build a utopia out of AI. The world is full of claims—loud ones, simple ones, sometimes well-meaning, sometimes not. Most of them skip a few steps.
This blog is about putting the steps back in.
We ask:
- How would that work, exactly?
- What would it take?
- How much material, energy, time, money, silence, cooperation?
- What does the scale look like?
You’ll rarely find a conclusion shouted here. Most of the time, the structure of the explanation does the shouting for us. And if not? That’s fine too—some tangents go somewhere interesting. Some don’t. But all of them are worth the walk.
The Tone
Dry, skeptical, and maybe a little too enthusiastic about logistics.
Occasionally satirical. Often nerdy. Never condescending.
The Name
The Tangent Bureau sounds like an official place.
It’s not.
But it does sound like the kind of department that would have memos labeled “Sky-Based Mind Control Logistics – Revised Budget, Q3.”
