About Alan
Welcome. I’m Alan Willing, a lifelong learner, writer, and creator behind Interesting Information.
This is a space for curious minds, a home for hidden histories, surprising facts, and forgotten ideas.
At a time when much of the world feels louder, faster, and angrier, I believe there’s still room for quiet curiosity, for wonder over noise, for exploration over outrage.
What You’ll Find Here
Interesting Information is built around a simple idea.
Curiosity makes life bigger.
I share stories that connect the past and present, uncover hidden connections, and open small windows into how strange and fascinating the world can be.
Sometimes it’s a forgotten moment from history, sometimes it’s a curious scientific discovery, and sometimes it’s a question we forgot to keep asking.
Along the way, I often explore politics too, thoughtfully and historically.
Rather than focusing on personalities or tribal battles, I am interested in how ideas, movements, and systems shape societies across time.
Politics here is not about division, but understanding.
Everything I share is written with warmth, respect, and a deep belief that learning should feel like an invitation, not a lecture.
What You Can Expect
Stories, explainers, and curious finds, open to everyone.
Deeper dives into hidden histories, strange ideas, and curated collections worth exploring, also free for all readers.
Later on, there will be an option to support Interesting Information through donations or a subscription, but for now, simply reading and sharing is more than enough.
If you enjoy asking questions, wandering down rabbit holes, and sharing curious discoveries, I think you’ll feel right at home.
Welcome to Interesting Information.
On Technology and Creation
Technology runs through everything I do.
It is not just a tool, it is a bridge between thought and action, imagination and connection.
It lets me move faster when ideas spark, helps me bring conversations to life through podcasts, and makes creative work more open, more accessible, to anyone willing to listen, read, or engage.
Quietly, it manages the rhythms of my daily life, clearing space for the things that matter more, creating, connecting, learning.
When I write, I turn to A.I., not to think for me, but to think with me.
It opens doors I might not have noticed, points me toward books, ideas, histories, and questions that stretch my understanding further than I could reach alone.
Each tool, each system, each platform, is not a replacement for the human voice.
It is a way to sharpen it, a way to carry it farther, and a way to build bridges between minds that might otherwise have remained strangers.
I know some people believe that using technology to create is wrong, in any field.
If that is what you believe, I would only ask, how are you even reading this right now?
Technology is not the enemy of creativity, it is simply another language we have learned to speak.
The meaning, the vision, the human spirit, these do not come from the machine, they come from us.
Technology is just the vessel. It helps carry what matters, faster, wider, and sometimes even more truly than we could have done on our own.
