Business provides me the tool to pursue philosophy & science on my terms

All Books Forever Free for Download

PDFAudioNo paywall

My passions are philosophy and science, science being a subset of philosophical inquiry. Pursuing either without the financial means to self fund compromises our pursuit to the whims of our financial overseers. I decided to go another route. I support research, collaborate on design, but have, and will never require institutions to withhold unfavorable data. The truth always emerges, eventually. We need all the information, no matter how we think it impacts us momentarily.

Likewise, I self publish all my books, paying for my academically & ideologically diverse team of talented and brilliant editors out of pocket. I then offer all of my books free to download as a PDF or audio, with proceeds from hard copies sold allocated to my non-profit “My Journey With Science.”

Change doesn’t occur through compliance and conformity.

Alex Tarnava is a disruptive entrepreneur, self-taught scientist, inventor, and author

whose work sits at the intersection of biomedical innovation, sovereign health, and philosophical disruption.

Every project Alex initiates or contributes to in a major capacity, regardless if it is for profit, non profit, academic, or published books, works towards one single goal: to attack and disrupt entrenched power dynamics, through structures, acts, and led journeys that help empower those engaging to gain strength and capacity, with the plea to use their strength and capacity to help lift others with them.

Society changes when we change. We’re always changing, will we allow the powers that be to further drive us to weakness and dependency, or will we take control of our future and rise together?

The three pillars

One Inquiry, Three Disciplines

Writing, invention and research are not separate careers for Alex. Each one tests the others, and each is pursued in the open.

Thought Leader

Many Domains, Same Message

Whether through his books, substack, or media interviews, Alex talks about many of the same themes, weaving observations across seemingly disparate domains. He seeks to remind others about the interconnectivity of all fields, all knowledge, and all human behavior.

We compartmentalize our search for knowledge into silo’d fields believing it is our best path towards omniscience, but this act of isolation instead leads us to nescience. Expanding deep expertise without working towards constant integration will lead us to a future where we will lose the very capacity to synthesize the totality of our knowledge into a coherent understanding.

Discovery Begins with a Challenge

Alex has patents regarding devices, systems, and methods to generate, retain, and deliver super saturated concentrations of molecular hydrogen in aqueous solutions, both for consumption and cosmetic applications.

Additionally, he has pending IP on the delivery of various gasses (including H2) and aerosols in an efficient manner that mimics human breathing demands, ensuring cost effectiveness, lack of waste, improved safety, and precise dosing. Finally, Alex has pending IP which looks to resolve the challenges we face today regarding Large Language Model based AI technologies, seeking to improve accuracy, and eliminate the harms of sycophancy.

No Formal Education? No Problem

Alex didn’t educate himself formally, but his deep knowledge has led to him partially breaking down these institutional barriers. As of September 2026, Alex has contributed to 19 papers that have been published through peer review, some as a first author, with two other preprints and numerous other papers at various stages of manuscript prep, or submitted and under review.

Additionally, Alex has been an invited plenary speaker at several academic conferences, given the opportunity to philosophize on the state of the research, and the appropriate directions research teams can venture in a united manner.
