Welcome to Damien's Archive!

A Business Operations Associate at Airbnb. I graduated from Seoul National University with a BA in Economics and Aesthetics.

I adhere to philosophy as a way of life. I am not interested in growth merely as the development of problem-solving skills. Instead, I focus on growth as a path to a deeper and broader character.

I am an agnostic and a pluralist. I believe in absolute principles beyond what we can experience and perceive. I think the crossroads of wisdom can bring us closer to these principles.

I am an existentialist. I ponder how to take the next step well in this world that presents itself only to me. Finding a way to sublimate the solitude and pressure that come with this is my current paramount task.

I am a holist. I see beliefs and values as forming a unified field. It is as important not to reduce situations indiscriminately as it is to identify the most critical dependency factor.

I enjoy conversations about each person’s underlying brute facts. We can only vaguely understand each other, at best, only when we encounter the frameworks of thoughts that we either agree with or cannot agree with.

I believe the limits of language are the limits of the world. What cannot be expressed in words and writing should be considered unknown. Therefore, I spend much time translating my floating thoughts into writing.

In this space, I will share my thoughts, critiques, lessons learned, and my moments.
