  • In this blog, Georgiev tries to show what happens when love, neediness, and envy start wearing each other’s clothes. We all have the freedom to fire our emotional bullets, but none of us get to decide where they land—or what comes back. He thought he understood the difference between needing someone and loving them. Then,…

  • What if love has less to do with how we feel and more to do with what we are willing to sacrifice? Through Homeric epics, Ivo translates something we keep forgetting: heroes are rarely the people who get everything right. They are the ones who, often far too late, recognise what matters and act on…

  • In this post, Georgiev opens with Jimmy Carr’s claim, “I don’t believe in generations,” then follows the thread through Peter Turchin’s counter‑elites and into Aristotle’s theory of emotion. He argues that categories flatten people, while real understanding requires noticing how judgement forms through experience, feeling, and self‑interest. Moving from modern commentary to ancient rhetoric, the…

  • The thought of maybe being a good person is what keeps me trying to be a good person” — Rue said it in Euphoria’s finale, and it hasn’t left Georgiev since. This isn’t about being good or bad. It’s about the space between them, where nothing’s decided yet. A boy from a fishing village in…

  • In this article, Georgiev points to the fact that nobody teaches us how to become ourselves. Rather, they only teach us how they survived becoming themselves. For him, everything after that is translation. Today’s stream of consciousness follows someone he calls Bear Boy – the Stranger within the Stranger – and the invisible inheritance we…

  • What if the future isn’t arriving at all? What if it’s already here and it’s being assembled quietly, through images, habits, algorithms, and expectations, and sold back to us as something inevitable? This time, Georgiev follows a suspicion that took root in his mind: perhaps advertising doesn’t describe reality and perhaps it only creates the…

  • Every man imagines the man he wants to become, but few are those who sit long enough with the man they already are. In this blog, Georgiev struggles with what he’s been thinking about lately: whether masculinity is ambition, sacrifice, discipline, freedom — or simply accepting that life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined.…

  • Society hates visible appetite while secretly orbiting it. In Georgiev’s words, Bonnie Blue is that visible appetite made articulate, and that alone makes her one of the most disorienting figures in contemporary culture. But this isn’t explicitly about her. It’s about what she exposes: the gap between the life we perform and the life we…

  • In this essay, Georgiev challenges the idea that history ever truly “ends,” arguing instead that every stable system quietly produces the forces that will disrupt it. Drawing on Fukuyama, the figure of the Stranger, and cultural examples like The Dark Knight Rises, Ivo explores how unfulfilled recognition, civic stagnation, and buried contradictions shape modern societies.…

  • In this piece, Georgiev examines how the figure of “the stranger” has shifted from a temporary condition to a permanent state in modern life. Drawing from Alfred Schutz’s concept, he traces the evolution from the outsider who struggles to belong to the individual who adapts so completely that belonging itself becomes unclear. Set against both…
