When you think of this life from somewhere beyond, in the years that come by, the days you won’t remember, how will you feel about it?

Will you remember it all as a distant dream from far away whose images and memories seem foreign to you? A thrashing in the wind, a flailing of circumstance?

Or will you see it as the exercise of something greater than that, where you took control over your fate, your voice, existence?

The path of memories lies ahead for all of us, and countless others brighter than me have theorized about it – that it is preordained, free, existential, nonexistent.

But what remains true is that we go through life on our own, no matter how many dozens come along with us.

In this life, we must carry our own crosses – that has been true and so it will stay, in this wild and strange journey of life.

On Gaslighting Myself

You might notice that I’ve been writing a lot more recently. I don’t know if this is going to continue, but if it does, I think it is the consequence of an interesting new activity that I take part in: gaslighting myself.  Let me give you an example. If you […]

On cognitive switching

One of the things that we discover throughout the course of life is that there’s a distinct difference between thinking that you are being productive or useful and actually being productive and useful.  One of the key parts of that is what we call cognitive switching, which is a phenomenon […]

Discipline and Freedom

Every morning I’m in the gym, I call out:”Hey Siri, one minute!” – and every five minutes I run, I say “Five minutes!”. It’s been like this for a while, as part of some process of systematization that’s started happening in my head sooner than I could say any lickety-splits […]
