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’m an autodidact, and I write about philosophy and theory. I started this newsletter thinking that by writing it, I’d be wiser, but I realised the pursuit of wisdom is useless and asinine.

*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 humour.
