UPDATE, December 2024: Because of multiple and long-term new commitments, I regrettably will have to turn down the vast majority of interviews and event invitations. Apologies for this. In an effort to compensate my readers and viewers, I'll be trying to focus more on my own online presence and YouTube channel.

Anticipating questions that may arise, please consider the points below before contacting me:

  1. If you want to have one of my books translated, please contact my publisher, Collective Ink, which owns the publication rights.
  2. If you want to quote passages from my books, essays or papers, please contact the respective publisher, which owns the publication rights.
  3. Book and essay submissions to Essentia Foundation should be submitted to Essentia Foundation, not to me.
  4. My website does not accept sponsorships or placed material.
  5. I do not accept requests to promote events or material in which I am not directly involved.
  6. Due to time constraints, I apologise for not being able to contribute forewords, prefaces, chapters, book reviews, etc., to your (potential) publication.
  7. I sincerely regret not being able to do peer-review for your journal, also due to time constraints.
  8. Due to being overcommitted as it is, I cannot contribute to your project, join editorial boards, or guest-host events.
  9. I do not accept invitations to submit papers to academic journals (if I have something to submit, my journal of choice will hear from me, not the other way around).
  10. Again due to severe time constraints, as much as I'd like to I cannot study, comment, or provide feedback on your writings, videos, ideas, works of art, critiques of my books or essays, opinions, etc.
  11. I cannot personally help you get your work published or noticed.
  12. I do not provide philosophical consultancy, psychological assistance, or coaching of any kind, paid or otherwise.
  13. I do not engage in one-on-one interactions. I cannot have a quick Zoom chat with you, as much as I might like it.
  14. I do not take part in private preparatory calls prior to public events or interviews; I only do the public part.
  15. I engage only in public.
