For the last few months, I’ve been in the middle of a deep-dive into world wars over the last century. From Verdun to Iwo Jima, it’s been a startling look into the depths of human behavior – and cruelty. In WWII, battles were fought on the beaches of foreign lands, and countless young men/boys lost […]
Over the past few years (ever since the plandemic, really) I’ve seen a startling trend of programmatic divisivness in human behavior, which has gotten more extreme as time has gone by; one used to have a smaller bucket of ‘topics’ to judge others on – politics and religion were the big two. Now? Everything is […]
Ever since I can remember, there’s been a trend for friends and family members to find various viewpoints in life/politics/religion/worldview and spar with each other to prove their point. “How could you not be enraged at this tragedy” “How could you stand behind this dictator?” “Why aren’t you condeming genocide?” Spin the dial to find […]
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 […]
There was a time in my life where I traveled the world with a yearning for more; new sights, sounds, cities, experiences, flavors and strangers along the way. I wanted it all with a thirst that pairs well with the youth of your 20’s. Those years have washed me up on a shore where I […]
For the last week or so, I’ve taken a look back in time; reading and watching documentaries about the D-Day beach landing on June 6th, 1944. War is never a beautiful thing. 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 […]
