In literature, it’s beautiful, sure.
Used wisely, it’s powerful;
Overdo it, and #Allegory becomes poisonous.
Balance is always key.
Many thanks @Batuhantakis.

No one could have imagined that a literary debate from the 1930s would be employed in 2025 on such a radically different, absurd and all-encompassing plane.
On Inklings, toxic productivity and allegory.

As the probe into Istanbul’s mayor intensifies, the media is digging deeper to make sense of Türkiye’s political climate.
This article by @RokayaCelik is one such example of global coverage on the case, where I had the opportunity to share my insights.

We must learn to approach every piece of content with ‘productive paranoia’.
Knowledge first, opinion second, a healthy dose of skepticism later. Follow that order as you scroll through social media, and you’ll be protected from manipulation.

I shared my insights in @telegraaf on legal and political crisis following arrest of Istanbul mayor.
The article, written by Maarten van Aalderen, aims to inform particularly European readers.
My perspective: Let the court speak first, and then we will.

In the media industry, the “hunter” manipulates content, presenting fiction as fact, while the “prey” unknowingly accepts it as reality.
Stay vigilant, question everything and avoid falling into the trap.
Otherwise, you risk becoming the prey.

Discussing unsolvable problems may invite criticism, but one undeniable truth remains: no matter how impossible they seem, these issues must be revisited through writing, art or politics.
After all, what else does it truly mean to be human?

Whether grand or humble, each human story is real, rare and deserving of respect.
Some, however, cry out to be told, and shared with the world.
Mr. S. from Istanbul, who wishes to remain anonymous, has one such story.

Once adorned in peace signs, some leftists in Europe now seem to have misplaced their olive branches somewhere between Tel Aviv and Gaza.
A reminder to all of us, mostly to them: All wars are bad, all wars are bad, including the one in Gaza.

We tried to portray the vision and objectives of Milli İstihbarat Akademisi and new agenda of Intelligence Studies and Strategic Studies for @DailySabah thanks for the detailed story and the excellent editorial work of @Batuhantakis
You’ll see the full story in tomorrow’s paper, too — written for all of us wondering.
After all, isn’t that what the media is for?

At start of 2023, rumors swirled about the creation of an academy within Türkiye’s top intelligence organization, MIT.
By Feb. 9, it was official, led by Professor Talha Köse, a scholar with an extensive academic and think tank background.
The academy’s goal?

To contribute to global intelligence literature and strengthen the bond between academia and intelligence in Türkiye.
Months have passed. What has MIT Academy done?
This question lingers among foreign journalists, too. Curious, I sat down with Köse for an interview.

Fear leads to more surveillance. Surveillance leads to more mistrust. Mistrust leads to more conflict.
Nations are no longer merely preparing for war – they are living in a state of permanent readiness.
Welcome to the new world of intelligence!
