About Ivaylo Durmonski

It’s 2026, and everyone is either on social media or pressuring an AI chatbot for answers to meaningful topics but getting meaningless results.

Blogs are abandoned as an old relic from a distant age.

Why keep this website running, then?

Because in our fast-paced, ad-driven online world, more calm places should exist that offer human writing.

Because when everything seems available, nothing feels profound.

AI can summarize, explain, and even create texts. Social media gives us an endless feed with sure-to-succeed tactics and soothing characters telling us that we’ll make it when we buy this or this other product. Everything seems within reach, but everything feels just so damn shallow and surface level.

When was the last time you found something – a piece of writing, a book, or a point of view – that made you stop and really think about where your life is heading? A topic that forced you to look beyond the ordinary trivialities of modern living?

That’s what I’m trying to do here.

Hello, my name is Ivaylo Durmonski.

I’m a father. A husband. A reader. I am a flawed human, exploring different perspectives on the struggle of modern living through honest writing. My aim is to act as a counterbalance to the shallowness and the cultural slop dominating the internet today.

I want to introduce readers to deep, meaningful topics with the desire to free more souls from the algorithmic prison.

My efforts are directed towards motivating more and more people to abandon the wagon of sameness and embrace living grounded in doing, not just mindlessly consuming.

An anti-shallow movement, if you will.

I organize writings to spread a way of thinking that disobeys the cultural norms suggesting following others. And instead, provoke readers to spend more of their time following their own dreams and their own ambitions.
