Haven't posted in a while so thought I'd give a personal update for those curious. Returned to the U.S (Nova/Washington D.C area) for Thanksgiving (also because my Schengen visa expired). Currently thinking to go to Miami this weekend possibly followed by NYC Started a new job as engineer hire #2 for a seed stage database … Continue reading What I’ve Been Up To (Dec 7th, 2022)

Embrace The Struggle
One of my biggest mindset shifts this year has been embracing the challenge. I believe that anything fulfilling in life requires risk, challenge, and struggle. Without struggle, there is no fulfillment. What do the following all have in common? Eating junk food Being a lazy sack of sh*t Not getting the work done and achieving … Continue reading Embrace The Struggle
What the U.S. Can Learn From Europe, Asia, and South America
Here’s a summary of my lessons learned living in Europe, Asia, and South America over 5 years as an American. Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo are way more advanced than us. Doesn’t even come close. People take pride in their work, no matter how menial. These cities are by far the cleanest and … Continue reading What the U.S. Can Learn From Europe, Asia, and South America
How to Be a Man
Life is like a dance, and men are expected to lead. Men who can’t initiate and lead are considered unattractive and won’t get anything. Thus the responsibility is on the male to learn how to initiate and lead if he desires to achieve any success in life especially with the opposite gender. Woke feminists can … Continue reading How to Be a Man
Climbing the Career Ladder Should Not Be the End Goal
The pursuit of climbing a career ladder for its own sake is one of the most meaningless goals ever, a product of a culture devoid of meaning and personal autonomy. The greatest achievements of humanity stem from people pursuing a noble mission, not trying to get promoted to L7 at a large corporation. Life in … Continue reading Climbing the Career Ladder Should Not Be the End Goal
Don’t Just Be Yourself. Improve Yourself.
"Just be yourself" is terrible advice. The intention of course is well-meaning - to be confident in oneself. I certainly agree that everyone should be confident. The problem is when people misconstrue "just be yourself" as "you are perfect the way you are and don't need to improve". No you are not perfect, and neither … Continue reading Don’t Just Be Yourself. Improve Yourself.
College Campus Debate Exposes Bigotry of Wokeness
Normally I don't pay much attention to fringe idiots, but I think this is worth bringing attention to because it's a miniature version of the bigotry that has taken over the public as a whole. Cancel culture is the direct result of this bigoted, anti-intellectual "woke" culture that is incapable of rational thought and believes … Continue reading College Campus Debate Exposes Bigotry of Wokeness
Why Andrew Tate Should Not Be Censored (even if you disagree with him) [2022]
EDIT: This post is not an endorsement of Andrew Tate, it is an endorsement of freedom of speech, and a criticism of "cancel culture" in response to him and many others being banned from Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, AirBnB, Uber, etc. due to their outspoken beliefs.

Life Needs Challenge to be Fun (thoughts on work, happiness, and fulfillment)
I admit I've had a love/hate relationship with work. I hated the glorification of work for work's sake when I was in school forced to learn stuff I didn't care about like old literature, or a wagie chained to a desk in NYC who on occasion had to do work that I didn't feel was … Continue reading Life Needs Challenge to be Fun (thoughts on work, happiness, and fulfillment)
I’m Building a Web3 Reddit – zsync.xyz
I've been building a web3 Reddit over the last couple months called https://zsync.xyz. It's a community forum site where the goal is to foster deeper, high quality, in-depth discussion (if you just want 280 characters there's already Twitter and Reddit) and ultimately be fully decentralized, open source, and community-run. I have many frustrations with Reddit … Continue reading I’m Building a Web3 Reddit – zsync.xyz
