What the unintended BLAP is happening, all my fellow lovers who’ve gone a bit too hard at it and induced a gassy, slappy noise that hits us with the urge to giggle like schoolchildren—an urge which we all set aside because every single one of us is a Professional Fucker of the highest caliber? (If…

If someone doesn’t study themselves in an effort to correct deficiencies, I think they’re almost guaranteed to continue running the same, obsolete scripts over and over again. We’ve all seen people who employ the same, ill-fated approaches because it’s easier to do than hold themselves accountable by looking into the mirror. In my mind, this…

Competence—and just as importantly, the ability to increase it—could possibly be the most valuable commodity in all of existence. It allows us the luxuries of downtime and morals, and it is a formidable shield against personal pain. I also believe that one who seeks competence across all domains can realize deeper teachings from age-old texts…without…

Whatever model of reality I examine—eastern/western religion, science, philosophy—futility and abstraction seem to pop up more and more the deeper I go. (From my paltry understanding of physics, time is a construct and if you invoke cosmological instances where it doesn’t exist, the idea of causality falls apart as well, meaning that at the heart…

The food I eat, the exercise I engage in, the sleep I get, the stress I experience, the luxury I revel in…every little thing affects my ability to live my life in the manner I wish. I realize that trying to quantify all these causative factors (I think that even if that were possible, trying…

Due to the one-way flow of time—from past to present to future—we can examine experiments, historical anecdotes, behavioral anecdotes, or arcane rituals to see whether or not they can be employed as useful tools, or at least draw…

It seems that one of the greatest advantages we have as humans is the ability to question ourselves—to test our own position for validity and strength, to continually refine and sharpen it, or abandon it altogether in favor of a stronger stance. We don’t need to be purely reactive, as most animals seem to be. …

Although it is natural and comforting to think of certain things as objective and absolute, I have been baffled on many occasions by peoples’ behavior, leading me to realize that even though I’m sure of what I’ve seen, someone else might have perceived it differently. That’s why I think functionality is so important; while people…

In the scope of human endeavor, everything seems to be a mirror. I mirror my past experiences and programming, as well as my present needs and my future aspirations. The environment, if I assess it correctly, seems to mirror my weaknesses and strengths, and give me clues as to what opportunities I can use to…

One of the quickest ways to build consensus and vanquish pettiness is by embodying the time-honored basics: discipline, strategy, and the willingness to consider all sides. Over time, these qualities propagate functionality. And functionality—as we all know from those stories where the hero stifles tribalism and vindictiveness through salient action—leads to effectiveness, which has the…
