“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science.” - Albert Einstein
“We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.” - Stephen Hawking
“Sitting Quietly, doing nothing—
Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.”

Life in the modern world is a maddening cacophany of the above ideas: our minds have access to more awe-inspiring knowledge and wisdom than we could ever imagine, and to more luxuries than any other period in history— yet the world appears to be on fire, while nobody seems to have the time to fix it, because we’re all busy just trying to stay happy and make lives for ourselves.
So, what do we do? What should we do? What really matters? What is reversible, and what is inevitable? What is actually happening, and how much of it is just media trends? What does our future really look like?
More than anything, how do we find joy and live a fulfilling life in the midst of all this?
These are the kind of questions I have set out to find answers to, and this is the place where I share my discoveries.
I invite you to explore with me, and to learn together. Please share your own findings and opinions in the comments, and like and share posts if you want me to keep doing what I do.
If you’re really wild, and want to show me you think my writing is worth the effort…
Thanks, peace, and love, weirdos.
