Every one of these projects starts from the same place: watching people, including myself, do things and then invent a better-sounding reason for it afterward. I'm interested in the gap between the two — the real mechanism versus the story we tell about it.
That instinct has taken four different shapes. A newsletter and channel on the psychology of everyday behavior. A Hindi channel that questions faith and power without flinching. A podcast built specifically to sit in the discomfort reason creates instead of talking around it. Different audiences, different languages, same question underneath.
Everything I make
