Why the World Doesn't Make Sense: Reclaiming the Liberty You Didn't Know You Lost

by Christine Menedis

Overview

A rare, hopeful read that will forever change the way you see the world.

The world is unraveling—and most people can feel it. But the deeper problem isn’t the chaos. It’s that nothing makes sense anymore.

In Why the World Doesn’t Make Sense, writer and thinker Christine Menedis traces the fracture beneath our modern moment—exposing how a forgotten shift in how we define the human person led to the confusion, fragmentation, and loss of liberty we now call normal. She reveals how our institutions, ideologies, and even our best attempts at solutions are all rooted in a broken understanding of the individual.

This isn’t a culture war book. It’s not a call to rebuild the system—or to burn it down. It’s about truth: what happens when a society loses it, and how to find our way back home.

About the Author

Christine Menedis is a systems thinker and cultural analyst who examines the fracture lines of modern life—where meaning collapses, truth is inverted, and sovereignty is quietly eroded. Her work connects the dots between culture, finance, and technology to reveal the deeper structures shaping how we live, think, and believe in a disoriented world.

With a rich background spanning classical music, law, business, and financial markets, she brings a multi-dimensional lens to the questions of freedom, control, and the modern condition.

Menedis is the author of the book Why the World Doesn’t Make Sense: Reclaiming the Liberty You Didn’t Know You Lost, published by Forefront Books and distributed by Simon & Schuster.

An early bitcoiner and seasoned entrepreneur, her professional history includes co-founding and leading a $200M commercial real estate portfolio and an orthopedic device company as Chairman and CEO. Before embarking on her entrepreneurial journey, Menedis built a reputation as both a concert pianist and a criminal defense attorney.

A graduate of Texas Christian University, Excelsior College, and the University of Miami School of Law, she remains an active member of the Florida Bar. Menedis lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with her husband, Naveen, and their dog, Niko.
