The Century of the Self
Adam Curtis
“Adam Curtis on how Freud’s ideas were turned into a machine for selling things. I think about it every time a feed guesses right.”
Curated by the curious.
Curio is a quiet place to share the music, films, essays, and books actually worth someone’s time, with people whose taste you trust.

How it works
Post what’s worth it.
Not everything you watch or hear. The one song, film, or essay you’d hand to a friend. Paste a link or share it straight from any app.
Follow taste, not people you know.
Every profile is a corner: a browsable portrait of what someone vouches for. Follow the corners that make you curious. Start with a few suggested when you join, or search for a friend by name or handle.
Nothing gets lost.
Every pick you save lands in one library. No more scrolling a group chat for that album from March.
Free on iPhone and Android.
Five things you can share
Films and TV, books, music, videos and articles. Paste a link or search by name.

What is Hermeticism?
Let's Talk Religion
“The oldest name for the idea that every religion is describing the same thing.”
Videos

- Example post. @hshslm shared thisarticle
“Four pages about people who drew places they would never see. I have read it three times.”
Articles
Essays, reporting, anything with a URL.
The feed
Picks from the corners you follow, newest first. Nothing is ranked, promoted, or inserted. Then it ends.
You’re caught up.
Why this exists
I built Curio because the best things I’ve ever watched, read, or heard came from a person, not a feed, and those recommendations kept dying in group chats. This is a corner for them instead. There’s no engagement machinery here because you’re not the product; there’s nothing to optimize you toward. Just good things, vouched for by people with taste.
