Concept

Welcome to Around the Table, a space for thoughtful conversations, intellectual explorations, and candid reflections. Launched in February 2025 by Pablo H., this publication was born out of a desire to share perspectives openly—without the noise, pretentiousness, or algorithmic interference of social media.

Online discussions often feel performative, but Around the Table is a place for genuine dialogue. Here, I write with confidence, knowing that engagement comes from those who are truly interested in exchanging ideas, not just reacting to them.

Engagement

Discussions here should be approached with curiosity, respect, and an open mind. This is a space for ideas to be explored, challenged, and refined—not a battleground for winning arguments. The goal is to build a table around meaningful topics, where everyone can bring something of value to the conversation.

Fresh content, delivered

There are two levels of access:

• A Seat at the Table (free): This gives you access to all general posts, archived and new, delivered straight to your inbox. New content is sent straight to your inbox. No more worrying about whether you missed something because of an algorithm in your news feed.
• A Trusted Seat at the Table (restricted access): Some thoughts are best shared in a trusted space. This level includes more personal posts, intended for deeper conversations.

Who Gets a Trusted Seat?

• Every free subscription will be reviewed, and a trusted seat may be granted, free of charge, based on trust.
• If we don’t know each other yet, you can still request access. To ensure this space remains safe for real discussions, I require an extra layer of authentication through Stripe. After a 30-day free trial, this level costs $10/year—but please note: paying does not guarantee access.
