Recently, ChatGPT got caught giving somebody instructions on how to clean their washing machine; suggesting they mix water and vinegar. As an optional boost, it suggested adding bleach to the mixture. Mixing bleach and vinegar is the recipe for mustard gas; the poison that killed over 400,000 people during world war II. As a form […]
I’ve met a lot of interesting people in my life. Across many countries, languages, spectrums and backgrounds; I’ve had a privilege in meeting a colorful choir of people in my life journey. Few were more colorful than my friend, Ryan. To this day, I still can’t spell his last name correctly – or pronounce it. […]
When I was a little boy, I had a wild imagination. As an adult, it’s simply gotten more expansive in its imagination – but, never throttled. There were a lot of key moments in my development as a boy, where I encountered certain things in life and thought to myself ‘someday, I want this thing […]
When I worked at Expensify, the former tech giant of the expense world, there were two simple rules that everybody in the company agreed to follow. 1. Get sh*t done 2. Don’t ruin it for everybody else In our society, I believe that these two rules can also be applied – with equal success that […]

It simply changes its appearances and tactics over time. Somewhere between the barbaric hords of ancient clashes and modern-day joystick warfare, was the […]
It’s incredible to see we’re now living in a time where books such as 1984 are now getting banned in schools. That’s gotta be a sign of the end times that even Atheists could agree on… When I was 20, I remember reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad; which frequently brought up the concept of a […]
During the last few weeks, I’ve had a few wake-up calls related to my work/occupation that have presented themselves as difficult growth opportunities. While I’m not a big fan of ‘manifestation’, I believe there are certain times in your life where you’re able to see clear attribution between your thoughts and the present moment. In […]
There are a lot of big shifts happening in the world right now, all of which have a common theme; the old way things were done is now being replaced by something new. A few major examples: War A US Abrams tank costs about $19 million dollars. In the past, juggernauts of firepower were the […]
