Aris Thorne Journal
People often ask where my investigations begin. The answer is that they rarely begin with a crime. They begin with a question.
This journal is a collection of those questions. Some concern truth. Others concern memory, technology, missing records or events that refuse to fit the official story. Each article explores an idea that, in one way or another, found its way into my investigations.
You will also find links to every journal entry, because no question ever really stands alone. Each one leads to another, and sometimes the smallest detail is the one that changes everything.
Technology Never Forgets
People forget because they must. Technology forgets only when someone tells it to.
The Value of Ordinary People
History remembers remarkable people. My work has taught me that the ordinary ones usually have more to say.
Why Evidence Matters
People tell stories because they remember. Evidence matters because memory changes.
Why I Investigate Computer Crimes
Computers rarely tell me what happened. They simply refuse to forget what everyone else did.
Why Memory Fails
Memory is a remarkable thing. It helps us live with the past. It was never designed to preserve it.
