Why subscribe?

There, perhaps isn’t a reason to subscribe because regardless of whether you subscribe or not, you’ll regret it. As Kierkegaard famously wrote in Either/Or:

“If you marry, you will regret it; if you do not marry, you will also regret it; if you marry or if you do not marry, you will regret both; whether you marry or you do not marry, you will regret both. Laugh at the world’s follies, you will regret it; weep over them, you will also regret it; if you laugh at the world’s follies or if you weep over them, you will regret both; whether you laugh at the world’s follies or you weep over them, you will regret both. Believe a girl, you will regret it; if you do not believe her, you will also regret it; if you believe a girl or you do not believe her, you will regret both; whether you believe a girl or you do not believe her, you will regret both. If you hang yourself, you will regret it; if you do not hang yourself, you will regret it; if you hang yourself or you do not hang yourself, you will regret both; whether you hang yourself or you do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the sum of all practical wisdom.”

Who am I?

I’m Rahul. I predominantly write on philosophy and theory. I started this newsletter thinking I’d be wiser by writing it. But I realised the pursuit of wisdom is useless and asinine.

You can find more about me here or on my YouTube channel.

*I’m sorry this page is cynical in my attempt to be edgy. But frankly, attempting to write an about page on this newsletter where I share my intimate thoughts was rather traumatic, so I masked it with detached sardonicism.
