I believe in the pursuit of spirituality. That there are higher powers governing reality, and that timeless wisdom and truth can be found within the Holy Scriptures. However, I have often found that many who engage in religion treat the act of worship itself—song, ritual, and ceremony as a substitute for virtuous living. It is this confusion between devotion and practice that has caused me to distance myself from organized religion.

Digital needs a physical anchor.
A hardware wallet’s real power isn’t the software, it’s the secure element chip inside. That chip generates your seed from physical noise, the kind of randomness software can only simulate. The keys never leave the chip. They only ever sign.
Software can copy software. It can’t copy physics.
As AI gets better at faking anything digital, the things that matter will be the ones tied to something you can hold.

As AI grows more powerful, we’ll need to anchor digital trust in physical reality. Binding a file to a device, a place, and a moment takes stacked layers: cryptographic proofs, hardware-based roots of trust, and community verification. In the end, the future’s real proof will come from showing that what’s digital actually happened in the physical world.

The industrial-era structure and hierarchy of leadership and management will begin to crumble as we accelerate into the Digital Age of agentic AI.
Organizations built around layers of human coordination, supervision and information flow will increasingly give way to leaner, flatter structures—where small teams orchestrate networks of autonomous AI agents.

In the Age of AI, lacking a strong foundation in mathematics or physics can become a serious handicap.
AI can increasingly do the calculations for you but understanding the principles behind them is what allows you to reason from first principles, recognize what matters, and push beyond what the tools already know.

There is immense power in being able to architect and orchestrate teams of agentic AI systems, to coordinate autonomous intelligence toward both creation and destruction.

On The Lex Fridman podcast, DHH argues “AI psychosis” is actually a rational response to the scale of what’s happening. After 40 years working with computers, he says the advances he has witnessed in just the past two months have completely upended his understanding of the field.

His central point is that the real delusion is believing nothing fundamental has changed, that AI is merely an “electronic parrot.” Failing to recognize the gravity of the technological shift, he argues, is more detached from reality than being overwhelmed or exhilarated by it.

“I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Ideas coming out of models, so great that it makes me humble as a person who otherwise prides himself on having good ideas. The AI agents are incredibly capable of creative thought.”
