I am joining this platform in the hope of finding minds interested in exchanging ideas and reflections on philosophy, history, photography, or how to setup local LLMs on local Linux systems. I collect fountain pens and enjoy writing with them. I realized my actual pen pals are reduced to just one person. I am interested exclusively in letters written in longhand on paper and posted by mail. I read slowly but consistently. I read across two large cultural domains: The western domain and the muslim domain. Be it Hanna Arendt or Abdel Wahab El Messiri, I would like to write and share reflections.
