Editor
Etai is a content editor and writer writing about everything internet. And also a product of the internet in the most literal sense. Which, as it turns out, is excellent professional preparation. His academic and professional background spans philosophy, music, media, and fashion, and he approaches all of them with the same obsessive curiosity and analysis he brings to a particularly good meme. He holds a B.A. in Media and Communication Studies and an M.A. in Philosophy, Science, and Digital Culture, with professional experience writing and producing creative content for outlets ranging from nightclubs to fashion mega houses. His work is driven by a fascination with internet culture and a relentless instinct for finding the philosophical concepts hiding inside everyday stories. When he is not writing about internet culture on the internet, he is doing what academics do: writing about it anyway, through the lens of media ecology, philosophy of technology, and existential thought.
