About Carsonogenic
Carsonogenic is my personal blog, and topics are simply: whatever I want to write about. In practice that seems to be:
Cultural commentary, especially focused around relationships and psychology.
Spirituality and Mysticism.
Neuroscience and AI — this is my professional domain, so these pieces will have more literature review and be more research-heavy.
Book reviews.
Creative pieces where I try to be poetic and stuff.
I am a Neuroscientist by training and profession, though I have worked in a variety of Data Science positions. You can read more about my professional background and other creative projects (or reach out for consultation, coaching, etc.) on my personal site.
Why Subscribe?
Subscribing provides no financial benefit to me, and that is not why I write things here. I don’t plan on any “subscribers only” content. So it’s only useful to you if you want stuff to go to your email/notifications. That being said, I often make post-publish edits, and posts are sometimes too long for email anyway, so I recommend reading on Substack (or RSS if you’re a hipster), not email.
However, I must admit that seeing the “subscriber count” tick up on the dashboard is very motivating for me: if I see that people will likely read my stuff, I’ll put more work into it and make more of it. Every subscription is much appreciated!
