Anti-viral writings for financial resilience, location independence and meaningful relationships.
How you act, and, most of the time, how you react to other people.
The bad news is that singularity is already here. There is no good news, I’m afraid. I know it sounds gloomy and catastrophic and pessimistic, but it really isn’t. It’s realistic. It is what it is. Now, before starting to worry unnecessarily, let’s revisit the definition: The technological singularity—or simply the singularity—is a hypothetical point in … Read more
Yesterday Facebook and its tribes (Instagram, Whatsapp) experienced a few hours of complete outage. The cause was a config file that blocked routing to the Facebook servers. It would have been an easy fix to revert that, if Facebook wouldn’t use only Facebook infrastructure, meaning when they cut themselves out from routing, they also cut … Read more
When I was little, I used to fish with my bear hands in a small river near my grandfather’s house, in the countryside.

We call the main combination, the one that integrates them all, “reality”. At the core of these frameworks lies the smallest building unit: information. We get information from a variety of sources. We … Read more
We, humans, have a very limited hardware setup. Our sensors are not able to perceive a whole range of data. For instance, we cannot see in infrared, or X-Rays. We cannot hear ultrasounds. We cannot see past microns, or beyond the solar system. But we are very inventive. Our capacity to create external tools for … Read more
When I started to run, it took me a few months to be able to run continuously 1 kilometer. In hindsight, this seems ridiculous. And yet, that was the level I was at, back then. Overweight, untrained, stressed and ignorant. Slowly, by pushing through, I somehow broke those barriers, but it was rally hard. After … Read more
