“ Where am I? What am I doing? What should I be do? ”
I asked myself these three questions for the first time one morning, while watching a series of short videos on my phone screen. A mental fog left over from the night before, content consumed but forgotten by morning… And then I realised: I needed to find a name for this cycle. Thinklinic was the result of that very moment.
In recent years, accessing information has become easier than ever. However, internalising information, understanding it, and thinking with it has almost become a luxury. We constantly watch, listen, scroll, and click, but we can’t really focus on any of it. This is not just a personal situation; it has become a social reflex. Every day, we are exposed to dozens of short videos, news stories, and content pieces, yet we can’t even remember the content of most of them a few minutes later. This is a systematic fragmentation of our attention. This is collective fatigue.
I wanted to carve out a space for myself in this chaos. Instead of silencing my mind, I began to listen to it. I had previously established a news platform. I wanted to produce truly meaningful content. I wrote articles and created news formats. But then I realised: simply conveying information wasn’t enough. I wanted to grow my mind, think, and delve deeper into that content. I didn’t close it because I failed. I had to close it because it was incomplete.
Thinklinic was founded to create a quiet space for thought in the midst of digital noise. When I conduct research here, I first learn for myself. Then I develop it by sharing. Every article is the result of research, questioning, and sometimes a dead end. But there is sincere effort in every line. My goal is not to bombard you with content. Rather, to offer “less, but deeper.” Maybe it will be a short article, but it will touch on an idea. Maybe it will be technical, but it will remain understandable. Maybe I will write it just for my development, but you will find yourself in it too.
The topics I’m interested in are very different from one another: aerospace engineering, medicine and neuroscience, quantum physics, ethics, philosophy of science, and defence technologies… But there is actually one common thread among these topics: the search for meaning. I want to explain why new developments are important. I want to create a community of readers and writers who ask not just “what happened,” but “why did it happen?” and “what can be done with it?” For example, in some articles, we’ll discuss new-generation vaccine technologies. In another article, we’ll explore the aerodynamic foundations of stealth technology. Because understanding an idea is the first step toward being able to use it. And who knows… maybe one day the ideas here will inspire an engineering solution.
One day, I looked at my phone and realised: almost none of the apps that were taking up hours of my time were adding anything to my life. The only platform left that was helping me grow was LinkedIn. I stayed on Instagram, but now consciously… just to create a calmer, more selective digital environment. I sought out alternative apps instead of new media. I wanted to discover places where people with different perspectives come together, without drowning myself in more information overload. And they truly exist. Knowing that alone is encouraging.
Thinklinic is currently a solo project. But every article, every research piece, every headline pushes me to think more. This site could be a resource for your assignment. It could inspire your speech. Maybe it’ll just make you say, “I was looking for someone who thinks like this.” Regardless, this is not a place of transition. It is a stop. For thinking, for learning, for understanding.
And I continue to ask myself those three questions:
Where am I? What am I doing? What should I do?
My answers will be here.
Perhaps yours will be too.
