Balázs Matics

What if collapse doesn’t come with explosions, but with quiet unraveling? Balázs Matics, the mind behind The Honest Sorcerer Substack, is a sharp critic of modernity whose essays challenge the comforting myths of progress and permanence. With a background in systems thinking and a gift for poetic provocation, he invites readers to confront the deeper truths behind societal fragility. At Brain Bar, he explores why collapse is around the bend urging us to rethink resilience, meaning, and the stories we tell ourselves - but we'll also ask him about the Substack revolution taking place currently.
