Talks Panels

I love participating in public conversations where books are treated not as cultural artifacts, but as forces - shaping how individuals and societies think, argue, and decide.

These are not performances or keynote monologues. They are moderated discussions, panels, and dialogues that leave room for complexity, silence, and genuine inquiry.

Typical themes include:

• How attention fractures - and what still holds it together
• Books as instruments of judgment, not consumption
• Thinking in an age of speed, summaries, and algorithms
• Why some ideas endure while others evaporate
• The limits of productivity language when applied to thought

These conversations work best when they are allowed to be unresolved.
