Your Network is Your Algo
Idea: The algorithm you create building deep, long lasting relationships > any algorithm created by the memetic virus on your black mirror. As technology and AI continue to proliferate, and there’s a race to techno-optimize every part of our existence, it’s hard not to get sucked in and focus on how to feed the algorithms…
Fight Club
BY: CHUCK PALAHNIUK My Favorite Line: “You have a generation of people who want to put their lives towards something. Advertising has them chasing cars and clothes they don’t need. Generations have been working in jobs. They hate just so they can buy things they don’t really need. We don’t have a great war on…
Good Days & Bad Days
I’ve been in one of those rumination loops on “meaning”, “purpose”, “the path”, and other nebulous aspects of sentient beings that both fuel and confound our existence. The more experience I gain, the more evident it becomes that pain and struggle are both inevitable and essential. When I have long stretches of “good” days, I…
Best of 2025

In the sixth book of the Red Rising Series (Light Bringer), one of my favorite metas I’ve ever crossed paths with runs in parallel–a story within a story, with some incredible metaphors for life. I read the book a second time purely to revisit “The Path.” I wanted to document these because I have found…
