Writing
Here are a few things that I’ve written:
The vindication of Marx: VC Culture Today
A longer piece on the venture capital world and its worst artefacts, and how they relate to Marxism. This also includes a brief discussion on the defence tech ecosystem at Stanford.
DeepSeek and the Politics of AI Bias
A short piece on AI bias, and the politics of discourse about it, specifically in the context of the release of the Chinese model Deepseek.
On the Influence of Colonialism on Indian Anthropology
An attempt to analyze the lingering effects of colonialism on the field of Indian anthropology. Written as a term paper for the course HS2190: Contemporary India, A Sociological Perspective.
East Germany in Cinema
An essay on the portrayal of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in German cinema, and the phenomenon of ostalgie. Written as a term paper for the course HS4180: Readings in German Literature and Culture.
I also ramble about movies on letterboxd, although it is a lot more informal, and potentially full of grammatical/spelling mistakes. Feel free to check it out:
