Essays on relationships, intimacy, understanding others, and the emotional dynamics between people. These works examine how we relate to one another beyond words, exploring the subtle territories of connection in digital and physical spaces.
Uncertainty isn’t what threatens relationships—it’s what keeps them alive. The real danger lies in presuming we know everything about the other, extinguishing curiosity’s fire. What if mature desire is learning to want the familiar with fresh attention?
What happens in the space between someone finishing their sentence and your first conscious thought?
This essay continues the exploration begun in “The Revolution Will Not Be Psychologized,” examining how artificial intelligence completes the circuit of individualization by eliminating even the need for another human to tell us the problem lies within ourselves.
Starting this newsletter in February was supposed to be an exercise in coherent uselessness. Instead, it opened doors to conversations I never imagined having—including my first podcast in English, where I could finally articulate why our desperate need for certainty is the pathology of our time.
In our digital age of endless chatter, true conversation has become rare. Perhaps our most radical act is to cultivate silence—not as absence, but as the fertile ground where genuine connection grows. When we learn to be alone well, we discover how to be with others deeply.
What if conversations create gravitational fields where separate consciousnesses briefly merge? Perhaps being truly understood is physics-defying—a small miracle of human connection, a brief victory over time itself.
