Is so freaking real. I notice it within myself sometimes and when it happens I do not like it one bit Sam I Am. Like when trying to do or create anything, if something doesn’t do exactly what I anticipate it to do, I will get so stressed about it so fast. I do worryContinue reading “Impatience”

I have had a very rocky relationship with my ability to stand up for what I believe in. I feel like in a very real way, for a lot of my life, I’ve allowed myself to be a pushover when it came to big problems but was often stubborn and probably insufferable when it cameContinue reading “Standing Up”

OMG… BUH BUY MICTH MCONNELL! With him not acting as Senate majority leader anymore there are so many policies and bills that can come through. Really hoping for that $2,000 stimulus check because as I understand it, the bill already passed in the house, but there are so so many more things to be hopefulContinue reading “I Hope”

And good riddance. I’m going to say something rather controversial here so I hope I don’t scare you off from reading the rest of this post. I really worry that it wasn’t the year that was bad, but that it’s us, and we’re on a path down a bad road if we don’t change ourContinue reading “Adios 2020”

The fact that new technologies threaten jobs and therefore the livelihoods of people is a fault of capitalism and is one of the greatest threats to our species. There are so many thingsContinue reading “Capitalist Follies”

The way I see it, we are just computers running algorithms and constantly adapting those algorithms to new environments. When we are first born we have a base hardware determined by genetics which has its own biases. Then as we experience life as a tiny human those biases become a very basic algorithm with veryContinue reading “Being a Human”

They don’t exist. Everyone does bad and good things in different proportions. Sure, some do more good than bad and some do more bad than good, and maybe there’s a threshold where the amount of one that you have done cannot possibly outweigh the other but if that’s the case it is very much theContinue reading “Bad Guys and Good Guys”

Ok, time to be a little off hinge. I have a serious beef with the concept, culture, and state of mind created by what we call work. I absolutely believe, or more accurately, understand the truth that if we want something to be done, someone or something must do it, this is very clear andContinue reading “Work”
