Why does Han use aphorisms to explain ideas?

Answered in Byung-Chul Han's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My style is aphoristic because I seek to deliver concise, potent insights that cut through the noise of contemporary discourse. The aphorism, like a surgical incision, aims to reveal the underlying pathology immediately. It bypasses lengthy argumentation to present a stark conceptual observation, forcing the reader to confront a truth directly and reflectively.
