Wait But Why

Wait But Why is a blog created by Tim Urban and Andrew Finn.
The blog's first post went up on July 8, 2013, 7 Ways to be Insufferable on Facebook. The blog has been active ever since, with posts on procrastination, Elon Musk, and AI. Between 2016 and 2019 the blog became dormant, with only a few occasional posts like the Neuralink one, as Tim focused on the Story of Us. After the publication of Chapter 10 in 2020, the blog became dormant again until 2023, when an update on Tim's life explaining what happened in these years and the publication of What's Our Problem? A Self-Help Book for Societies was released. In 2016 or later, Alicia Mcelhone was hired as Wait But Why's Manager of Lots of Things.
The blog's posts are divided into three categories: Archive, Minis, and the Shed. The menu also contains a link to go to the Wait But Why Store, another link to how to support Wait But Why, and a link for a page about each person working on the blog. The link to waitbutwhy.com originally led to the homepage, but was then modified to lead to the announcement of What's Our Problem? and a way to buy the book. It has since been changed back to lead the reader to the homepage.
The website's banner and mascot is the King of Spades. This came about because Tim considered one of the ideas for the name of the blog the Miniature King. He thought it would be funny to have the supposedly all powerful king be the non consensual mascot of the blog. He's rolling his eyes because people are literally walking all over him.
