Pathways now has a podcast – please follow it!

In the past couple of days, I’ve had the chance to speak to some very, very smart people, and it’s all the result of a weird series of coincidences. Or maybe they’re not really coincidences, and maybe they’re just fate. I don’t know what it is, but either way, I realized that every single member of Harvard’s class of 2028 and Yale’s class of 2028, as well as Stanford’s class of 2028, was watching Pathways to Excellence.

Why do I know this?

I know this because I ended up speaking to almost every single one of them, only to hear that they were aware of what I was doing, that they had watched the videos, that prepared for their Harvard interviews, or otherwise in some way, shape, or form.

It’s also been interesting to watch things play out, as I’ve secured interviews that are very different along the way, with people of rather unique backgrounds, which I’ll perhaps talk more about in the days to come.

It’s very inspiring to speak to smart people – I have no idea how that’s going to influence my future just yet, but the outlines are there, but I would have done this regardless of what had happened anyway. What is clear for sure though is that this is meaningful, something I’m honored to be a part of and a journey that I will continue to value in the days to come.

I’m lying down right now with my eyes closed, trying to rest while releasing a couple of thoughts. I’ve been watching a ton of videos about vibe coding and how people create apps and take part in a dream. I think I have a bit of a picture of what […]

The Violence We Do To The World

I’ve been reading Hannah Arendt’s The Human Condition recently and it is truly a fascinating book. It distinguishes work, labour and action from one another – Something that you might think is trivial or unimportant, but that as it turns out is really quite important for understanding how human beings […]

Slapmania

One of the most fascinating sports I’ve ever seen in my life is the sport of professional slapping. My first exposure to this wonderful art, travesty, or disaster (whatever you like) came when I first saw Charles White Jr’s slapping playlist on YouTube. Ever since, I’ve watched the odd slap […]

Seeing Is Believing

It is likely that you have heard from an early age that “seeing is believing.”  As life goes on, it becomes clear that that advice is only partly effective. There are many things in this world that can be true even if we cannot see that they are true. That […]

The Value Of Time

I am writing this after contemplating Fanon’s “Black Skin, White Masks” and undertaking a full sequence of reading on the way to reading Homi K. Bhabha’s “The Location of Culture” upon Shahril Hamdan’s recommendation – incidentally, after failing to understand it and after complaining to Shahril, I realized that perhaps […]
