  • 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…

    DABOISASTRGLEDT – by Ivaniel “Ivo” Georgiev I don’t know about this one, DABOIS. I was supposed to upload something today, but I haven’t finished the article I was preparing. These last couple of months were tough, and the hardship continues. It’s not the right moment to discuss it. It’s really not. And I don’t know…

  • DABOISASTRGLEDT – by Ivaniel “Ivo” Georgiev DABOIS, it’s time for another blog post. Last week I had an anthropology exam—the final for this semester, worth 50% of my grade. I had to explain Hume’s idea that reason is a slave of passions. I did, but I did it in pure DABOIS style. No phones, no…

  • In a 30-part poem inspired by a single Manousos’s speech, Georgiev dissects the collapse between oppressor and oppressed. YOU and US mirror each other—both magnificent scum, cut from the same meat. Through mythology, rage catalogues, and multilingual fragments, he traces the arc from declaration to despair. The hero becomes a dumbfuck living in a box.…

  • In this one, Georgiev struggles with why history keeps determining our lives when we’re trying to build something new. He goes through different eras and shows that human essence remains unchanged. He points to Marx and Nietzsche and how ideas escaped containment and are moving not through strong minds but desperate ones. He explains that…

  • Georgiev dissects a failed date and the chronic self-sabotage that follows him through every connection he attempts. Drawing parallels to Punch-Drunk Love’s Barry Egan, he confesses to years of lying—small lies that shaped his mouth until even truth hesitated on the way out. The essay spirals through dating, loneliness, and the exhausting performance of being…

  • Georgiev confronts an uncomfortable truth: not everyone can handle the truths you carry, and pretending otherwise is carelessness masquerading as courage. Drawing from Simone Weil’s insight that even Christ spoke differently to crowds than to friends, he explores why secrets aren’t lies but responsibilities, and why radical transparency often kills the very truths it claims…

  • In The Left/Right Dichotomy: Imprecise, yet Useful, Ivaniel “Ivo” Georgiev explores how politics reduces human complexity into jerseys and slogans. From Plato to Lenin, Sparta to modern populism, he shows how equality and hierarchy, freedom and responsibility, endlessly clash. Through essays and poetry, he argues both sides are half‑right and half‑blind, and that the real…

  • Caught between Machiavellian realism and poetic idealism, Georgiev wrestles with the paradox of wanting to change the world while knowing how stubbornly it resists change. He reflects on the dangers of both naivety and cynicism, ultimately embracing the identity of a “pragmatic dreamer”—someone who dares to imagine better, but builds with eyes wide open. The…
