Do you ever wonder if our reality is actually a simulation? This idea has been gaining popularity lately, especially with Elon Musk speaking about it. Many thinkers discuss the probability of us living in a simulation and ponder its origins. However, they overlook a crucial perspective that is so obvious it’s hard to notice, like […]
The Art of Not-Doing
Is doing something always the right answer? Ours is a culture of doing at an increasingly frenetic pace. We’re taught that if we’re not doing something, then we’re failing, wasting time, or lagging somehow. Everything in our world is about growing, progress, and production.

Have you ever struggled to wake up from a dream? You have a sense that something isn’t right with the scene but you can’t quite put your finger on it. The dream is scary, painful, or confusing and your mind is looking for an escape…but it can’t escape in the dream. What we call reality, […]
