Welcome.

If you're here, there is a good chance you enjoy books, interesting ideas, philosophy, science, or simply understanding the world a little better.

Social media is great. But sometimes ideas deserve more than 280 characters. So I decided to start this newsletter.

Twice a month, I'll send things that I found interesting, useful, confusing, beautiful, or worth thinking about.

Not endless information. Just ideas worth keeping.

🧠 Main Idea

One of the strangest things about reading is this:

You spend years collecting information. Then one day you realize the valuable part was never the information itself. It was learning how to think.

Books change what you notice. Philosophy changes what questions you ask. Science changes what feels obvious.

And slowly, without realizing it, you become a different person. That process fascinates me.

This newsletter is partly an attempt to understand it better.

📚 Book Recommendation

If I had to recommend one book that captures curiosity itself:

"The Demon-Haunted World" by Carl Sagan.

At its core, the book asks a simple question:

How do we know what is true?

Sagan explores pseudoscience, superstition, scientific thinking, and why humans are surprisingly good at fooling themselves.

What makes the book special is that it never treats science as a collection of facts.

You are reading this on a device built using ideas discovered by people who often had no idea their work would matter.

Much of civilization is built on knowledge created by people solving problems that looked useless at the time.

Curiosity may be one of the most practical things humans do.

What is one book that changed how you see the world?

Reply and let me know.

I read every response.

Thanks for reading.

See you in two weeks.
