This is the thinking-space for my curiosity. It is a collection of essays, research, and reflections where I unpack the ideas that shape my perspective—from the mechanics of the human mind to the challenges of the digital age.
Because these are personal snapshots rather than professional opinions, they are inevitably unfinished and subjective. They represent a search for understanding rather than a declaration of truth. If you find these subjects compelling, I encourage you to use them as a starting point to seek out proper sources and form your own conclusions.
The entries are organized into four main themes:
Psychology & Neuroscience
Exploring the mechanics of the brain and nervous system.
Philosophy & Society
Examining the beliefs and values we use to navigate the world.
Art & Technology
Analyzing the tools and systems that shape our creativity.
Reflections
Personal notes on travel, music, and subjective experience.
Trevor Paglen: The Aesthetics of Evidence
We speak of "the cloud" as data drifting in the ether, untethered to the earth. This is a comforting delusion, a form of collective blindness that allows us to ignore the physical and geopolitical weight of our connectivity. We prefer the magic of the connection over the reality of the cables, the power plants, and the surveillance apparatus. The artist and geographer Trevor Paglen has spent his career dismantling this illusion, operating on the premise that one cannot critically engage with a system one cannot see.
