My name is Louis Birla.

Through the process of edification, I attempt to communicate my understanding through essays.

Topics

My principal interests, I believe, cluster around the concept of understanding. These manifest mostly in philosophy, but also in mathematics and various sciences.

My current endeavor in writing is to regularly publish philosophical dialogues outlining my understanding in various topics within my interests.

To give a short list of topics I wish to address very soon:

  • Dissonance

  • Inquiry

  • Dialectic

  • Dialogue

  • Edification

  • Induction and Informal

  • Zettelkasten

Already should be published an essay introducing and motivating understanding.

Credibility

I do not currently posses any credentials that make me somebody worth your time, but I hope to be one anyway without them. Likewise, I would love to converse with you. A great place to do so is Substack, by using the messaging feature.

Subscription

In an effort to make the publication of my understanding worthwhile, given my prior commitments, I lock certain essays behind paid subscription. I have priced my paid tier quite low (compared to other publications I have seen) in order to make it affordable even for students.

However, if you do not have the means to pay, I would love to send you any of my published works, upon request.

People

I am just another person, good at some things, bad at others, like everybody else. I enjoy thinking and believe a piece of living is sharing. Given that, I want to communicate my ideas, teach things I am confident in, and learn.
