Welcome! I’m Omar Sultan Haque, and I aim to provide reasoned, heterodox, and evidence-based insights on Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, and Politics. You may not agree with me on everything — or anything — and that is good! I would like to be informed when I am in error. I aspire to pursue truth with you, create dialogue, contribute to and defend free inquiry, and engage in civil discourse on what matters most in life.
I graduated from a number of schools that gave me a loan-leveraged expensive bubble wrapping from reality (Harvard Medical school, with honors, Brown, Harvard Divinity School), and was awarded the Peter J. Gomes, STB '68 Distinguished Alumni Honor. I have always loved teaching, but stopped doing that because I found the academic culture not conducive to academic freedom and truth seeking; I received six times a Certificate of Distinction in Teaching from the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning at Harvard University, and for "Excellence in the Art of Teaching" for Supervision of a Harvard College Thomas T. Hoopes Prize-winning senior thesis awarded by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
My work and ideas have been covered in a bunch of places that will reassure you that I have politically correct beliefs, such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Science Magazine, Harvard Magazine, Harvard Gazette, NBC, BBC, NPR, Forbes, Psychology Today, and the Boston Globe.
