The world is unpredictable right now
What are your future travel plans? I’m not sure when this would happen given the current shitshow state of the world, but would really love to travel around.

What bothers me and why
What bothers you and why? AI-produced slop: as a stand-in for real and soulful human creativity. People can recognise the beauty of other people’s work and long may it remain. The comfort of apathy: people being too lazy or willfully naive to actually face the genocide that is going on in Gaza. History will notContinue reading “What bothers me and why”

I’ve given a few speeches and talks, it makes me tremble in fear
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? Why you ask? When I was a teenager of 15 and incredibly shy and self-conscious, I needed to give a talk in school. I was so used to being laughed at and ridiculed in many subtle and not so subtle ways at home that IContinue reading “I’ve given a few speeches and talks, it makes me tremble in fear”
All technology is a double-edged sword
What technology would you be better off without, why? I’m trying to think over a consumer technology that is definitively and conclusively bad, but can’t think of one. Each innovation has brought an equal share of good and bad. Ride-sharing apps: The good: consumer convenience, ability to not own a vehicle, better for the environmentContinue reading “All technology is a double-edged sword”
To have or to not have a baby
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? This was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make and one of the most personal. In the end I decided not to.
