About

I'm writing this for me. You're welcome to read along.

Why Not You is a personal notebook. I'm a quantitative researcher by trade and a long-form reader by temperament, and the writing here sits at the intersection of those two halves — careful arguments about markets, mind, meaning, and the math underneath all three.

Why these topics together? Because the questions that interest me most don't sit cleanly inside one discipline. How do you make decisions under uncertainty? What's the relationship between attention and outcome? When does a model help and when does it hide? Quant finance, neuroscience, contemplative practice, and the foundations of physics each have something useful to say.

I publish about one essay every couple of weeks. There's a newsletter if you want them in your inbox; otherwise the archive is open and chronological. I read everything that comes to my inbox but answer slowly.
