Welcome to Factsmith—a community for those who relish discovering peculiar, fascinating facts and understanding their underlying truth.
I started Factsmith because I’ve always been fascinated by the stories behind the facts. I love those moments when curiosity meets logic, when science and philosophy overlap, and when “wait, seriously?” turns into “oh, that actually makes sense.”
I hold a degree in Philosophy, with a focus on logic and reasoning. That means I’ve spent a lot of time asking questions like “How do we know that?” and “Who said that first?”
That spirit of curiosity drives everything here.
Most of what you’ll find on Factsmith falls into two broad camps:
- Fun Facts: Odd, unexpected, and highly shareable truths that make the world more intriguing.
- Thinking Tools: Short, clear pieces on how to tell real facts from fakes. Learn how to sharpen your sense of reason in a world that rewards noise.
I’m not here to lecture or debunk for sport. Instead, I’m here because learning something new—really learning it—still feels amazing.
If that’s your kind of fun, you’ll fit right in.
So stay curious, question confidently, and never stop forging truth from noise.
That’s what being a Factsmith is all about.
