Writing

Essays &
Reflections

Philosophy

On the virtue of unfinished notebooks

Why the blank page is not an absence but a posture — an openness the world rarely asks of us.

Literature

Dostoevsky and the divided self

Every character in his novels contains their own opposing argument. He never resolves the contradiction — and that's the point.

Society

The XZ backdoor and the trust we extend to strangers

On the supply chain attack that almost broke the internet, and what it reveals about the hidden social contracts in open-source.

Philosophy

Krishnamurti on the observer and the observed

When you watch your own anger, who exactly is watching? The question that dissolves the self — and what's left when it does.

Reflection

George Orwell's essays and the plain sentence

Why the most radical thing a writer can do is be clear — and how Orwell made clarity into an ethical act.

Philosophy

Nietzsche and the question of becoming

He did not ask what you are. He asked what you are in the process of becoming — and whether you are willing to pay the price.
