Welcome to my PhiloKitchen. This is not a podcast of polished lectures or finished wisdom, but a raw, real-time capture of philosophical struggle. This channel confronts the core paradox of cognition: the mind trying to behold the lens through which it sees. It is a personal journey, not a repository of answers.
