About
Hanming (Allen) Chen
Based in Australia. Writing on psychology, philosophy, and the inner life.
I live in Australia, and I work with data and design. That's the day job. But what I find myself thinking about, more and more, is the other side of things — what goes on beneath decisions, beneath patterns, beneath the stories we tell ourselves without noticing.
I'm drawn to Jung, to Daoist thinking, to the kind of philosophy that doesn't announce itself. The questions that interest me most are the ones without clean answers — how we individuate, how we make meaning, how we live with what we can't resolve.
What I write about
This site is where I think out loud. The writing touches psychology, philosophy, and the structures beneath everyday experience. If there's a thread, it's an interest in what's actually happening — under the surface, under the habit.
I'd rather be interested than interesting. And I'd like to write clearly enough that some of that interest comes through.
