A personal newsletter that'll appear in your inbox every Sunday. Sometimes it'll try to cheer you up, keep you motivated or it'll be just a personal meditation on a topic.
The difference between mediocrity and success is imperceivable to those who look to other people for their own validation. Most of us can be described as moderately successful; we should give ourselves credit.
Conscious artificial intelligence is a dream and a nightmare. But before that becomes a reality, you might want to put some AI onto your tool belt.
A car engine cannot run purely on potential. Neither can people or anything else. Potential is a promise that requires action. And nobody will take that action for you.
The same as people, ideas are not born blank slates. They hold many innate facets. And to reach their full potential, they need to be nurtured, given time and sustenance to grow.
There's a biological robot that surrounds your soul. You can never truly be in charge of the former and only begin understanding the latter. The only thing to do is to attempt both.
Every story has a beginning, a plot, and an end. If you're reading this, your story is still being written. You're in the plot part. Maybe there's a plot twist on the very next page; who's to say? And perhaps you're still at the beginning of the actual storyline.
With every new side-project come new challenges, but also new learnings that have the potential to expand your mind in unobvious ways.

Life is a series of long-term investments. Everything you do today inevitably impacts tomorrow. It's a one-way street where turning around isn't an option. What is an option is looking ahead and choosing your path forward. Will you choose the paved but long road along the mountain's edge or will you climb the mountain to get to the other side? It's only up to you.
Having your name in a history book or on a magazine cover might feel like an immense accomplishment. But what might be abstracted away from who you really are might make it not worth the desire. When the nature of a person has been dissolved into the past, you're left with only a name, events, and dates.
Writing personal letters has been a hobby of mine for years. Those real ones where you take a pen and write it all at once. No edits; if you make a mistake, you correct it right then and there and carry on. Then throw a little drawing at the end because the medium allows for it, and it has a chance of making the recipient smile for just a second.
