Hey! I’m Etai, and like a lot of 90s kids, my parents were secondary caretakers to a child who was raised by the internet. I have a background in philosophy, music, media, and fashion. For me, these aren’t just academic and professional background, I’m obsessed with all of them, and their connection to internet culture, which means I’m always geeking out over the weird ways culture travels online. Memes are no less than a passion of mine, and I never get tired of finding underlying philosophical concepts in day-to-day stories. I hold an M.A. in Philosophy, Science, and Digital Culture, so when I’m not writing about internet memes, I’m writing about the philosophical implications of media, technology, and the internet itself.
