Aren’t we lovely when we’re delusional? Er, I mean all high on hope. When you think of software eating the world you imagine: an automated heaven, filled with people being paid for leisure time a symphony of orchestrated machinery, working for some hard coded greater good hidden, but constantly communicating, systems that combine streams of dataContinue reading “Actually, the world is eating software”
Apple Is The Fruit, Google Is The Tree
This whole “apple” name thing, with the bite in that logo, you know it is about the biblical genesis, right? Yeah, I know you did, I was just making sure.

It is Not OK to be a content consultant, an online content marketer, a personal development…
As any of the above you have a direct vested interest in people quitting their jobs, following their dreams, starting up companies, as many as possible, loosing sight of the immediate to focus on some hazy future success, feel under appreciated, feel like they’re lost, feel like a failure, feel bad in general, or mediocre.Continue reading “It is Not OK to be a content consultant, an online content marketer, a personal development…”

Ergo sum. That’s all we know.
Unfortunately we don’t have direct knowledge on the first part, that is to say, I don’t have a direct knowledge of my own thinking because I am trapped in it. The moment my first thought appeared, it started to weave the layers of layers of personality, from the inside to the outside. I don’t knowContinue reading “Ergo sum. That’s all we know.”
Regret is a form of curiosity
