Every school shooting is framed as a tragedy. But at this point, it’s policy. When lawmakers refuse to act, it’s no longer random—it’s chosen. And the choice is that children’s lives are cheaper than lobbyists’ checks.

Gerrymandering is the closest thing America has to politicians choosing their customers. Imagine if any other industry got to redraw its market whenever sales dipped.

If a CEO is truly worth 6,666x their workers, the metric shouldn’t just be profit margins. It should be: how many more jobs exist, how many more families can live off the company, and how much dignity those paychecks buy.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Not just for gameplay, but because it was the first time I felt a game could hold memory, nostalgia, and myth all at once. It wasn’t just play—it was a world that stayed with you.

The most expensive cost in business isn’t churn, lawsuits, or failed launches. It’s the hidden tax of poor mental health: burnout, indecision, fear-driven choices, teams running at half capacity. The highest-leverage investment a founder can make is in their own clarity and resilience.

This is the quiet tragedy of tech: we obsess over sci-fi dangers while ignoring how badly designed systems already shape real lives. When language itself gets filtered, pain becomes harder to express. And sometimes impossible to share

Taylor Swift said yes and brands everywhere immediately tried to crash the wedding. Starbucks panicked: “PSL is out today but… should we even bother mentioning it?” Wendy’s went full chaos mode: “Can’t believe we got Travis Swift before GTA 6.” That’s the world we live in.

Most people underestimate how much their life trajectory is shaped by their early teachers. Confucius, Socrates, and Montessori had one thing in common: they believed character and curiosity mattered more than rote knowledge.

As someone with a foot in both worlds, it feels like the US clings to ‘destiny’ while Europe drowns in self-critique. Both postures miss the point: neither strength nor renewal comes from myth—only from honesty.

Peak gothic royalty. Price was already the master of horror by the ’50s, Elvira redefined camp horror in the ’80s, and Astin gave Gomez Addams his cult immortality in the ’60s. Three eras of spooky pop culture in one frame.

Wealth isn’t just capital. It’s the freedom to decline. The patience to wait. The clarity to choose. Money without wisdom becomes burden. Wisdom without capital becomes impotence. True wealth is when both meet and compound. Build skills, build judgment, build leverage. The money follows.

The best opportunities rarely announce themselves. They show up as small misalignments: something that doesn’t quite fit, a detail that feels off, a gap nobody else notices. Entrepreneurship is often just training your eye to spot what the world dismisses.
