Iris publishes The Letters from Iris newsletter on Substack, focusing on personal essays at the intersection of practical philosophy and emotional intelligence. Her writing examines the relationship between embodied experience and cognitive development, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence research. The newsletter connects philosophical frameworks to lived experience through narrative essays on resilience, intentional habits, and meaning-making. Each edition of The Letters from Iris explores one of three core themes: processing complex emotions through structured reflection, analyzing how physical experience shapes understanding, or examining the limitations of artificial intelligence compared to human cognition. The essays integrate concepts from psychology and philosophy to illuminate patterns in personal development and technological change. This interdisciplinary approach grounds abstract theories in concrete examples from daily life. The newsletter serves as a platform for long-form analysis of how philosophical principles manifest in contemporary challenges. Regular topics include the role of embodied knowledge in learning, methods for developing practical wisdom, and critical perspectives on consciousness and computation. Subscribers receive essays that document the interplay between intellectual frameworks and lived experience.
