About Me

I’m Alex and I’m a curious person. I want to understand how the world and people work. This led me to do my undergrad and master’s in philosophy which I finished in 2020. Philosophy informs a lot of my thinking and has shaped me quite a bit.
 
I try to follow my curiosities wherever they lead me and so my interests run across disciplines. I’m passionate about synthesizing information and finding commonalities across disciplines. In my mind everything is connected to everything else, like the Net of Indra, we just have to discover those connections.
 
I have the unattainable goal of wanting to know and learn everything. Especially learning different approaches to thinking, feeling, and being in the world.
 

Playing with ideas is important to me. I like to use negative capability and jump in and out of worldviews to play with ideas. I tend to hold ideas very loosely as I try to figure out how things connect.

As such I’m both a skeptic and a believer. For anything I write or say it is possible that I think the opposite on any given day. I try to interrogate my mind and ideas and think as logically as I can to figure things out and make sense of my experiences.
 
I’m a plant guy. I love plants. They are my friends. As are my two cats. Plants and animals are both conscious creatures and figuring them out is one of my passions. Eventually I’d love to have some land to build a relationship with and put the things I’ve learned regarding permaculture into practice.
 
I’m interested in consciousness, psychedelics, and the occult generally. If you want to see what I’m thinking about currently check out my now page, Twitter, or Substack.
 
I live for new ideas and new friends. If you want to be my friend or talk about ideas, reach out! I’ve found that the more connections I make with people, and the deeper those connections become, the more beautiful and interesting life becomes. Exploring the depth and the texture of connection has moved many strangers and acquaintances into friends.
 
I’m a researcher, writer, and editor among other things. Contact me if you are interested in hiring me or for my previous experience! You can see my current gigs here.
