During my bachelor’s in Chemistry, one of my roommates once took a picture of me sleeping and showed it to me the next morning. (I was asleep in a thinking pose.) She laughed and said, “See? You were thinking even while sleeping.” Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I genuinely try to stay mindful about every aspect of life as much as possible. 🥼 I may be a chemist by training, but I think specialization, though important, is often overrated. Creativity in science cannot truly grow in extreme isolation when we live in a deeply interconnected world. That is why my interests expand beyond science into philosophy, psychology, sociology, politics, and more. 📨 I believe more in communication than accumulation. Whatever I understand, I try to break down into simple arguments so ordinary people can question how much of life is lived without thinking. 🤌🏻 I challenge stereotypes fiercely. But that does not mean I believe I am always right. If you have a counterargument, I will make room for it. Either it expands my understanding, or it helps me express my thoughts more clearly. Both are valuable. 📩 Constructive criticism is always welcome on any thought or blog. And if you, like me, enjoy thinking deeply, you are welcome to subscribe for future writings.
