Right now, as of January 2023, Ken is slowly inviting like-minded people to join this experiment.

Writers, researchers, artists, scientists, internet enthusiasts, philosophers, and anyone who is generally curious is cordially invited to participate.

Let's turn this space into something where we'd like to hang out, and think together.

Is Ken for me?

Do you have a burning curiosity and many open questions about how the world works? Are you willing to self-discover answers that are true for you? Can you resist instant gratification through clicks and likes and are one of those people who can still focus on a text for longer than 3 minutes? Do you prefer learning from autobiographic stories over formal literature?

If yes, I'm convinced you will enjoy this community and the community will enjoy you.

How is this place different?

On Ken, you will find less. Fewer people, no distractions, and a minimal set of features. It is simply a journal for your ideas. Plus, correspondence in the form of open letter exchange. Much like good old black ink on white paper. Without the marketing hype around making money off your attention. It is thinking for the thinking's sake.

Okay, I'm interested! How can I get started?

The best way to use Ken is to sit down and articulate your questions and possible answers in short essays. I know this sounds scary, but what holds you back right now from signing up under a pseudonym and set free what's been bugging your mind lately?

At worst you gain some new clarity for yourself, at best a like-minded person starts an exchange and you become friends and business partners. That's what happened to me when Wolfgang contacted me one year after I published my first piece on Ken.

Be honest, not perfect. All stories on Ken are considered works in progress. They improve over time through public conversation.
