it's all about the roads.

at home I found the common things boring and international diplomacy intriguing, while travelling I find politics trivial and the lives of the locals important.It produces a distance between myself and my life. And this is the true freedom of travel. It allows me to interrogate my situation. ‘the only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes’. Marcel Proust wanderlust. a little here and there. thoughts all over the place. my point of view. see and think with open eyes.

Privilege and money are funny things.

for some reason, we admire successful people who gain their wealth along the way. making of romance of struggling with money and perhaps overcoming it

the cliche of following your passion without caring that much about $

wide wage gaps, pay inequality, social mobility

I learned 125k family income is 80% of the american families this week. In tech that is probably a mid level software developer’s salary

having a trust fund, family properties to live off on,

struggling with mortgages, counting the days we’ll be able to collect pension. sell the house to pay off some debt

how those things complicatedly tied with race, gentrification, health, gender, and many other things

Scientists have started to study how dogs take emotional cues from human voices. According to the head researcher: "We’d put an experienced dog up in the scanner, and he’d be up there sitting still. Then we’d bring into the room a less experienced dog. And he’d get so jealous! He just wanted to be on the scanner bed like the other dog. It became the place of happiness."

We’ll be there. Tune in.
