Hi, I am Melvin Poh.
Professionally, people know me as an established entrepreneur, a financier and a former barrister. Others know me as an overthinking public intellectual who regularly shares my quaint thoughts online. I consider myself a modern philosopher-entrepreneur, one who not only ponders the deep-seated inquiries of existence but also applies such insights practically to build communities and platforms that elevate collective wisdom. I look for ways to craft an agora for bright minds to convene, share, and collaborate, thus enriching the intellectual landscape with diverse perspectives and ideas.
Yet beyond my career, I am a rather simple person. In my heart, I hold a unique belief that confronts one of humanity's greatest paradoxes. Despite living in an era of remarkable advancements - where technology, possessions, and our living standards have improved - we find ourselves an unhappy generation, shackled by existential dread. Despair lingers inexplicably within us. The root of this lies in the fading light of human knowledge, introspection, and philosophy. This has led me on a passionate mission to confront this plight in my own life's work, public advocacy and professional endeavours. I invite you to embark on a deeply personal journey with me to unlock the wisdom that holds the key to living truly beautiful lives and reclaiming our humanity in today's complicated age, through the light of knowledge.
