We are living in the past’s version of the future. The Cyperpunk I read in my youth is now the stuff of my daily life. It’s not as sleek as in fiction but it’s hard not to feel like it’s William Gibson’s world and I’m just living it. The clubs looked a little sleazier as […]
If you’ve been educated in the Western Cannon you are probably familiar with hubris. One does not defy the will of the gods.

Day 1287 and The Long Haul
Good things take time sounds like pablum. Rome wasn’t built in a day” Every time there is a boom cycle fools rush in. I don’t know why someone would expect that luck would be adequate to any large task. Luck is the default conditions to even get started. Then you gotta get lucky a lot. […]
An estimated 50% of the global population is participating in elections across 60 countries. That includes as supra-national entities like the European Union holding major elections.
