About Rowan Bell

I’m Rowan Bell — part cultural detective, part reluctant optimist, and an endlessly curious question-asker.

I started Where’s This Heading? because I couldn’t shake a simple question:
Where are we actually going — as a society, as a culture, as a species?

I’m not just interested in the “what” of events.
I’m obsessed with the “why” — the deeper shifts underneath the headlines, the patterns we don’t always notice until they’re already reshaping our lives.

This space is for people who are tired of talking points and desperate for nuance.
You’ll find commentary, analysis, sharp questions — and sometimes, the faint glimmer of hope that we’re not completely doomed.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ll stick around — or at least leave with a few good questions of your own.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, your questions, and your own experiences.
There’s rarely one “right” answer. Different perspectives give us a chance to see the world through someone else’s eyes —
and sometimes, even walk a few steps in their shoes.
