Terms

Short, because the arrangement is simple.

What this is

The Clear-Eyed Man publishes original editorial writing on pattern recognition, judgment, and self-command. Reading it means you accept what is on this page.

What it is not

This is not therapy, counseling, medical advice, legal advice, or financial advice, and nothing here creates a professional relationship of any kind. If your situation calls for a licensed professional, see one.

The writing describes patterns. It does not diagnose your life, and it does not promise an outcome. What you do with it is your decision and your responsibility.

The writing itself

Every piece on this site is original and belongs to The Clear-Eyed Man. Read it, quote a line with attribution, send someone the link. Do not republish it whole, sell it, or feed it into a product as if it were yours.

Free pieces unlock with an email. Paid pieces are for the person who bought them — one reader, not a distribution list.

Purchases

Checkout is not open yet. When it opens, purchase terms — including refunds — will be stated on this page before any money changes hands.

Availability and changes

Pieces may be added, revised, retitled, or withdrawn. The site is offered as it stands, with no guarantee that it is available without interruption.

If these terms change, the change appears here.
