Robots, Recovery, and Radical Compassion: A New Dawn in Addiction Treatment

We're living in an era where the cries of addiction echo louder than ever. Whether it's the unnerving laughter heard in the middle of the night or the alarming scenes witnessed in public transportation, it's apparent: we are in a crisis.

Human Systems with Oddly Robbie

An ordinary moment can reveal a much bigger story.

A café conversation, a local tradition, or a baffling piece of paperwork—life in Mediterranean Spain gives me plenty to wonder about. Why do things work this way? What shaped them? And why does something familiar to one person feel strange to another?

I’m Robbie Ellestad, also known as Oddly Robbie. After living in 22 places around the world in three years, I’m staying long enough to look more closely.

Human Systems follows the connections between everyday life, culture, technology, history, and human behaviour. Personal observations, better questions, and the occasional “ah, now I see it” moment.

Rooted in Spain. Curious about everywhere.
