the Just A Human

Just A Human is an explainer page for curious people. Each week we take one big question, about the tools we make, power and money, or what history already knows, and follow it all the way down: what is actually happening, why, and what it means for ordinary people.

We show our sources, we mark our opinions, and we say when we don't know. We will get some things wrong; when we do, we correct them in public.

The questions, the judgement and the words are human. AI tools help us search, check and draw, and they voice the films.
