  • I’ve put a fair bit of effort into trying to understand the Japanese perspective, because as a northerner it frankly displays an odd contrast of values to me, being extremely sexually liberal, while also holding firm to tradition and social responsibility. It appears to me as though they manage this by maintaining quite clear social boundaries regarding empathy for each other’s individual perspective, and so they don’t appreciate when things which hold a strong sentimental place in many people’s hearts, such as the master of anime’s unique style, or a Shinto shrine in a popular video game, are portrayed in an uncharitable light within the public sphere.









  • There has never been a better time for explorers. People lament that there’s nothing ‘undiscovered’ anymore, but after studying STEM and digging into history I’ve learned that the fact we currently have access to everything those early explorers left behind for us gives us an unprecedented window into what our world actually is, and how it actually works, if only you can look at it with an earnest desire to learn.

    Mark my words: Those who actually manage to rise above the din will grow to shine more brightly than anyone has for thousands of years. There is incredible opportunity in hope right now.
