Time-lagged Human
Just a few moments ago, I have become privy to the most lifechanging information. It’s one of those moments you go “Eureka!” and, then go “Ahhh…” but no I’m joking, it continues to be a eureka moment because it takes away almost everything that was a problem for me, possibly. Okay, so my Default Mode Network used to be, for as long as I can remember, for me to exist in the past. This means I’m…
Mt. Fuji's God Complex
Japan doesn’t have a strong hold on religion, or rather religions don’t have a strong hold on Japan. Religions, were primarily a tool to inject shared ideologies, shared images. When we were tribe-sized, that would be a person or a place, like the city square, or well that big tree in the middle of the village. Everyone knew about it and in a weird way it bound us together. Then we grew. Into…
About being present
Being present is a luxury. A key baseline difference between people in India and Japan is that the Japanese are more present. They are more accepting of their current state. If they have to wait in a queue, they would. Indians would shove, honk; in general be unhappy with their current state and want to move to the next. Even if you had spent 4 winters in sub-zeroes, slowing down is hard for…
Challenging the status quo
I have a really really really really strong feeling that I wrote about “Challenging the status quo” like a long long long long long time ago, but idk, here we go again. I still think the most powerful tool is to challenge the status quo, but at this moment I’m not too into, what have you, companies, disruption? It was always about that wasn’t it?! As always, I’m focused on my weaknesses and right…
Be you
Titles I cycles through before zeroing in on this: Ego development, Strengthening your Ego, Self-actualization, Being yourself, Becoming more of yourself. But I chose this, the simplest, the most easily understandable. This post then marks an important change in my approach. I have never tried to choose something simple, something that’s easy to understand. Well anyway, looks like I haven’t…
Circles of consumerism
Version: Japan The deepest level of consumerism is when your whole day is on auto-pilot. Let me pain a picture here, you wake up to the sound of your alarm, something that ramps up progressively, it starts small and slow and grows higher in volume, it’s warm even though it 2°c outside. You open your eyes and you’re surrounded by pastel-color things that you pay zero attention to and you roll out…
Stimulation
We are in the midst of a stimulation pandemic. People unbeknownst to themselves are being over-stimulated and stay there for extended periods of time. It starts with work, 8 hours of robotic work, with remote becoming the norm, has no soul to it. The biggest problem with stimulation is that, once you are at a certain level of stimulation, your brain tries to maintain the same level of…

The truth
Y’all might have heard about “if a tree falls in a forest and there’s nobody to hear it, did it really make a sound?” Scientifically, the answer is yes because we know that when trees fall, they likely make a sound. But what does make a sound really mean? If you talk to a deaf person from behind them, you might as well not be talking. Yes, you are making sounds but to them, they can’t hear you,…

Outside the c-zone
I walked an unfamiliar alley, metaphorically, of course, until I was led to the startlingly discovery of some meta information about the meta information I’m about to publish. Anyway, getting back to the matter at hand – the meta information. Instruments such as alcohol among others can put you in a situation where acting a certain way is common-place, even for someone with the most closed…

"This could end up being one of those little oddities and mysteries of our careers that 40 years from now, we’ll be retired and still questioning quite how this happened," one monk seal expert said.
This has nothing to do with anything but it’s the greatest headline I’ve ever seen
This article is amazing
I’d put my favourite quotes from the article up, but it’s the whole dang article.
“It’s just so shocking,” Claire Simeone, a veterinarian and monk seal expert based in Hawaii, told The Washington Post on Thursday. “It’s an animal that has another animal stuck up its nose.”

Death of Emotions
So, this one time, in a different life there was a point when I felt happy that I could feel sadness. I was like ‘Yay! Now there’s an emotion I can feel.” It was weird. I knew I was feeling less emotions than I used to. I realized that and felt happy for feeling something. I looked for shows with a sad ending and I got my shot of the feeling. I remember those shows fondly, for that way I could…
