There’s a very particular reason my dog is the featured image of this post: he’s never, ever let me down. Being let down is probably one of the worst feelings in the human condition. There’s just something about it that cuts deep into our psyche when someone we thought was in our corner turns their … More Loyalty
Communication. It’s the most important interpersonal skill one can have. The quality of our relationships is effectively dictated by our ability to articulate the various ideas and concepts in our heads. We have a thought, and then we attempt to communicate that thought through language. This applies to every single interaction we have with people. … More Why I Love Writing
Its no secret that humanity is going through one of its tensest periods in our short history on this planet. Class warfare, social control, and behind the scenes manipulation has dominated the population for as long as we can look back. The individuals who had the ability to think openly, see the world as a … More The Real Revolution: the War We Don’t Know We’re Fighting
I feel compelled to write this after zipping through my news feeds and reading the persistently biased headlines of our lovely mainstream media. Human beings are just that – they are human beings. Regardless of your opinion (which, ironically, is usually formulated based upon third party reporting without any first hand interaction whatsoever), people generally … More Human Beings are Not One Dimensional

So I think I’ve decided to write currency out on my blog, since I’ve taken such an interest in it. Perhaps later I’ll wrap it into a book, but I like the suspense of periodic installments.

One such thing (the importance of which I am admittedly unable to decide), is how fascinating it is to consider how much … More The Evolution of Intellect – Transcending our Animal Instincts
I’ve always been a fan of quotes. When I had a desk job, I posted a print-out of all my favorites and hung them in from top me on the wall as a constant reminder of who I want to be. There is one, however, that I read recently which particularly resonated with me. Legendary … More Character vs Reputation: Why Your Opinion of You is the Only One That Matters
His name is Jacob Sellars. Below is an excerpt from one of the paragraphs that describes him. I really want to provoke the deep, visceral thoughts that we all have with this story and it’s characters. Touching taboo topics is sometimes a necessary thing if we want to achieve progress.
