Totems of Understanding

Recently I stumbled upon someone saying that “you don’t learn in your mind, you learn through your body.” I don’t know the validity of this idea, but it’s one of those things that you take a pause on, rewind it back and listen to it once again. For some reason…

The Metamorphic Nature of Conversations

In the past, I have tried to have some structured conversations with my friends in the guise of a podcast and I realized certain things. One of them is that it is impossible to do that. When you don’t allow some form of rules to govern a conversation, it is…

The Performative Nature of Social Media

Over the years, I have had a few unsuccessful attempts at staying on social media. It is definitely luring but there is that addictive aspect to it. Once you start, you get sucked right into it. After all, it is literally engineered to do just that. I guess initially, there…

LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS

We are gods, but for the Wisdom. As a child, I used to think of robots as our future companions. In my imagination, their relationship with humanity was that of a friendship. Growing up, I witnessed how our relationship with robots changed over time in pop culture. From a friendly…

Philosophy is for the lazy

Recently, a thought popped into my head which I felt was laying in the basement for quite a while that: how did I get to thinking about all this stuff? And here I’m talking about all the stuff I write about. This “philosophy” or whatever one would call it. I…

Metaverse inside our head

A walk into the Mermaid Tavern… Once, a friend of mine was telling me that he’s writing a story about a guy who invents stories about himself because his reality is too boring to make any conversation. And recently, I was thinking that we all might be involved around fiction…

The Individual that Never Existed

We are rather ‘dividuals’ than an ‘individual’ I have been thinking about what do we mean when we assign something like free will to an ‘individual’. The concept of the ‘self’ is in question here. What is a ‘self’? Is there a ball of light that we assign ‘self’ to…

Stories of our lives

We know the beginning, we know the ending, and there’s life in-between. There’s something so particularly appealing about stories. I think we tend to act them out even if we don’t completely know where is it going and what is it about. But, we all kind of act like we’re…

The Paradox that is Free Will

You’re as free to not read this as I’m free to not write it. Why do you think you have free will? Are you free enough to not read this and if you were to stop reading it, do you think you were free to make that decision? Let’s see…
