“Free” Speech
Absolute silence amidst the deafening screams. My thoughts, endless and free flowing, have become a prisoner disguised as an introvert. All words have consequences, the journey of orchestrated breathes. Our chain of priorities slowly developing with age, link by link. The alchemy of energy, chosen by the freedom of our will. How long can the…
The Hero Fallacy
Charm. Desperation. Sensation. Patience. Mirrors. Not many people know this, but I actually went to college thinking I was going to be a dentist. That idea lasted about half a semester. Mainly because making high school kids think they should know what they want to do with the rest of their lives is a cruel…
The Mega-impact of Nanotechnology
Why is Nanotechnology so exciting?
Remember AI before 2015? It was still just a fun (or scary) story to most people. Today everyone expects AI to be a part of everything.
Well 2020 is Nanotechnology’s 2015.
Dear Beirut
No words do you justice, but I still want to send you a message if I may. My heart aches for you and your people. The scenes of the explosion at your port in downtown Beirut are painful to watch, and hard to forget. I cannot begin to understand how you must all feel, nor…
A New Republic
Ownership. Triggers. Grief. Abdication. Freedom. Imagine a country built upon individual ownership. Where each citizen owns their property, assets, identity, and voice without it being contingent on centralized authorities approving of any of it. You are responsible and accountable for everything. Government insurance is no more. Government bureaucracy is also no more. The taxes you…
Spaces & Paces
Rocket Science. Political Science. Science. The Cosmos. Release. We’re reminded of the vastness of space at every moment. No matter where you are, you’re always met with either the sun, the moon, or the stars. None of which exist on our beautiful Earth. So we take their existence for granted and assume they’re out of…
Magicians IRL
Transformations. Inventions. Disappearance. Raw material. Trickery. I was one of those kids who got really excited about magic. I remember when I was a child living in London, my mother used to take me regularly to buy toys from Harrods and Hamleys, and all I could look at is Marvin’s Magic Tricks. I attempted to…
Flight to Quality-of-Life
FAMGA. That shiny metal. Satoshis. Static vs. Dynamic. Paralysis *This is NOT investment advice, it’s merely thoughtful pondering.* During such unfamiliar times, where is the smart money going? The right question should be, where is the wise money going? Here are the big themes we’re seeing right now: 1- Flight-to-Quality: i.e. Invest in the equity/debt…
To Fear or Not to Fear?
Panic-buying. Solitary confinement. Laissez-faire. Survival of the fittest. It’s the first time ever I actually hear the sound of silence on the empty streets of Kuwait at 7pm. Never realized how many dogs were in my neighborhood, until I heard the symphony of barks and howls coming from every corner of my audio periphery. Not…
Why Now?
The year is 2020. It’s April Fool’s. I’m stuck at home. I can. COVID-19 has taken the world by storm. Rising not-so-subtly from China, it has now spread to almost every continent, and all metrics indicate we’re about to reach our global peak in infections. Fear and confusion has crippled the masses, while a few…
