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 We Need Andrew Tate
Andrew Tate is the latest victim of the Matrix's "cancel culture" brainwashing agenda. The ex-professional kickboxer turned internet personality was banned on all social media platforms (Facebook/Instagram, Youtube, Twitch, Tik-Tok) at the same time, and even had his AirBnB and Uber accounts shut down along with many of his personal bank accounts. The reasoning? Because … Continue reading Why We Need Andrew Tate
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
Helsinki, Finland First Impressions
I recently spent a few days in Helsinki, Finland. I had heard good things - such as being ranked the #1 happiest country in the world, having the #1 ranked education system in the world despite students spending only 5 hours/day in school with little homework, home of Linus Torvalds (founder of Linux), etc. Finland … Continue reading Helsinki, Finland First Impressions
Things I Don’t Like About Rome, Italy (as an American)
I love Italy. It's one of the best countries to visit - having so many beautiful sites and being so rich in history - having been the capital of the Roman empire, the Renaissance, etc. I've been to 43+ countries, and Venice, although not exactly under-the-radar, is probably my favorite place. Other places like the … Continue reading Things I Don’t Like About Rome, Italy (as an American)
Some Lessons From Trading
I'm a crap, inexperienced trader. But here are some lessons I learned the last few weeks trying my hand at trading perpetuals on dydx. At the end of the article I'll discuss my current positions: A few weeks ago I put on a massive short position on Cardano (in hindsight too large of a position) … Continue reading Some Lessons From Trading
I’m Bearish Macro and Short Cardano
1-2 weeks ago I sold all my altcoins into ethereum and USDC, sold my last bitcoin, and shorted Cardano (on dydx). The only crypto I own at this point is my big stash of staked ethereum, which are long-term holdings. My reason for shorting Cardano was initially moreso to hedge my long eth position (as … Continue reading I’m Bearish Macro and Short Cardano
