Warren Zhu. Harvard ’26 (this one’s for the algorithm). Loves learning just about anything, although currently slightly skewed towards Philosophy.

Enjoys Hegel, Kant, Heidegger, Žižek, Wallace, Arendt, Nassim Taleb.

(Trying to get more serious about this blog. Aiming to publish an actually polished essay every Sunday.)
