I've learned that you can change your perspective on pretty much anything in life if you just set your mind to it. I've also learned that everything that makes me feel sad, depressed or inadequate are my desires. The only reason I feel 'not good enough' is because I want more. Is the answer to…

If aliens exist, and it seems likely that they do, and they come to visit us, that would mean their technology is so far advanced beyond ours that they'd think we're total fucking monkeys. Imagine a few generations down the line, when we've advanced our rocket tech or whatever, and we start sending rockets out…

I don't mean from the point of it's a stupid way to spend your personal time, but the concept of watching someone juggle is the dumbest fucking thing ever. It's like "watch me do this thing I've practiced for a hundred hours for no reason, be impressed. Be impressed by me". It feels so needy.…

Maybe I'm a pessimist, maybe I'm a nihilist, or some other lame definition. I think a fundemental question that lies deep in the heart of most discussions or debates on morality is whether or not human beings are 'good' by nature. Man is good. Man is evil. In western philosophy, in modern times anyhow, it…

There's much to be said on the generational differences in our societies. I don't think enough weight is properly put on how much different it can be growing up one generation to the next. Especially with the extreme technological advances we've had lately. My parents grew up in an entirely different world. People were different,…

I rarely make any choices. In fact, starting this blog is the most significant choice I’ve made in a long time. I think it stems from my crippling fear of failure. Where that stems from is probably buried somewhere deep in my subconscious but I don’t have the capacity to dig it out. Even this…
