An ode to 2021...

The shallow "polymath"

The thinking club

The rise of the inattention economy

Oh Micron!

Seasonal beliefs that drive cultures

There’s no failure

Don't short-sell yourself!

We're our past

State of flow

Pencil?

Why do we transcribe thoughts?

Star-studded planetary stories

End of an era

Poached

"Work-life balance" to "Life's work"

New ways to die

Life happens

Supporting the underdog

Strange family times

How to buy a car?

Internut

Dead or alive?

Taking a break today

We see what we want to see

Insanely insane

Tale of two stories

You are your abilities

We are gonna run out of words

Generational influences

And then there were 15

Imagined ideals

I lied

Simplicity wins

Words have meaning, or do they?

Cascading mistakes

Of ducks and chickens

Leadership is enabling people

Slipping in unnoticed

The road ahead

Collective irresponsibility

Nice knowing you.

Choose the "age" you want!

Unashamedly inauthentic

What should I do?

Dreamzzz

A clutch of quotes

"Brain as a library" analogy

We are non-altruistic beings

Method to the madness

Thinking on your toes

Don't change everything

Measure twice cut once

The switch

Opinion is the root of most misery

Adaptable, nimble, and flexible

Diwali

Like a kid in a candy shop

Should we have a purpose for everything?

Questioning beliefs

Halloween's back

Only questions

Life is just that simple!

The lush grass is going to sleep

Not an agent of change

Don't let anyone engineer who one should be and what one should do!

The anti sorrow club

Illusionary beliefs

Moving my fingers

Nailed it!

Love for sale

Humans are social animals

In hiding

Every day is today!

Blah, blah, blah

Looking up or looking down

I passed

We’re crazy!

Something's changed!

On commitment...

Dream beyond your limits

Practice and learn before you need it

Propagating signs and symbols

You are...

What's your favorite travel story?

A worthy subscription

Foreseen vs the unforeseen

Oh Google, google!

The magic toothbrush

End of an era

I know not of any human

I am feeling fishy

The stuck stoic

The Ig Nobel awards

The power of collective choice

Questions with no answers

Do one thing every day that scares you

Blank like a fake Banksy

Rewriting someone's regrets

Time to go, I guess

"Us and them" day!

Deterioration

A note to my tomorrow's self

Focused

Stuck in first gear

Life's simple pleasures

Verum, Pulchrum, Bonum

How we think makes our box

Slaves to technology

Worth passing on...

Scoring my Life IQ

Blending, bending, and breaking

Experiential pathways to a good life

If in doubt, begin

Do we unlearn or relearn?

In conversations with Viktor

What a mess

No, you won't!

The Croc, the frog, the fish, and the dolphins

Ziggy

Repeating patterns

Appreciating the accepted

There is always more than it seems

Talking to myself...

Chasing it down

Snap, Zoom, and fun!

When to stop?

We are what we don't do

The difficult is not difficult

Growing new reading habits

Loads of BS

On being

I am well and not well

A fish out of water

On desire, happiness, and success

It's always me.
