In October 2025 we changed completely our YouTube channel. The new channel will explore the anxieties, paradoxes, and challenges of modern life through the lens of established intellectual frameworks from philosophy, psychology, and sociology. It won’t offer simplistic “life hacks,” but rather will provide deep, structured ways of thinking about complex problems. Each video will tackle a common, modern feeling or situation and apply a timeless concept to deconstruct it.

We know YouTube is an intense challenge because there are content saturation and a profound asymmetry in the YouTube system: a near-infinite supply of content competing against the finite resource of user attention.
With over 500 hours of video uploaded every minute, (according to YouTube statistics) contributing to a massive library, this sheer volume has produced a “saturation effect” where discoverability has become the primary challenge for most creators.
This difficulty is fundamentally algorithmic, as the platform’s recommendation system favors content from established players, leading to a “rich get richer” biased loop.
This structure means new creators face an “uphill battle,” with their content often “buried beneath established favorites”.
Therefore, the strategic imperative for creators is not merely to produce quality videos, but to design content that is optimized to generate specific signals of value, such as high audience retention and user satisfaction.
We hope our channel will achieve these goals with your feedback on YouTube
