Essays on digital culture, media, attention, and the strange ways people experience information online.
This is where I write more freely. About media, internet life, visual language, film, online behavior, and the cultural side of communication. Some pieces are analytical, some more reflective, but all of them come from the same interest in how people interpret the world around them.

Authenticity vs. Impression: Navigating Interviews the Honest Way

The film’s quiet brilliance is in forcing us to look at the reflection we’d rather avoid.
How the Internet creates FOMO
We compare, refresh, and scroll, haunted by the sense that life is happening elsewhere. Social media amplifies this fear of missing out, turning connection into anxiety and choice into doubt. In chasing belonging, we often lose presence — and mistake illusion for reality.
How We Overestimate Small Probabilities in Decision-Making
We weigh risks not by logic, but by perception. Rare events feel larger than they are, small chances loom as inevitabilities, and intuition distorts probability. This bias shapes how we gamble, insure, and decide — reminding us that the mind often bends reality.
