About

Hello, I'm Berk

I'm a medical graduate from Turkey who now calls UK home. After years of studying medicine, I found myself drawn to a different kind of exploration—the kind that happens in books, in conversations, and in the quiet moments between thoughts.

These days, I'm not working in the traditional sense. Instead, I spend my time reading, writing, and thinking about everything from philosophy to technology, from anthropology to the latest news. It's a luxury I don't take for granted.

"A man is a man because he is free to do evil or good, to be a wolf or a sheep."

— Sabahattin Ali

What I Write About

I don't believe in boundaries when it comes to ideas. You might find me writing about:

• 🏥 Observations about life
• 💻 Technology, philosophy, and everything in between - no topic is off-limits
• 🚶 Random thoughts while walking

Currently Reading

I'm always in the middle of several books. Right now it's a mix of Cortázar's short stories, some essays on narrative psychoanalysis, and whatever catches my eye in the local bookshop.

The Personal Stuff

I'm married to a wonderful woman who happens to be a psychiatrist and was two years ahead of me in medical school. She keeps me grounded when my thoughts get too abstract, and I like to think I bring some levity to her clinical world.

This website is my attempt to create a space where I can think out loud, share what I'm learning, and maybe connect with others who find themselves similarly curious about the world.
