    The Strategic Necessity of Compassion in an Apocalyptic Age

    January 11, 2026

    Eschatology. If you are unaware of this word, I encourage you to look it up. Simply put, it is the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind. It is the study of the “End Times.” Right now, this concept is not just a theological abstraction; it is playing out in real-time on the global stage. I believe we could all benefit from understanding it, because if you look at the historical precedence, you will see that I am not just connecting random dots. There is a script being followed, and…

    Trade Radical Ideology for Radical Compassion

    January 1, 2026

    It goes without saying that it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day stuff, leaving some of the more broader issues on the proverbial back burner of our mind, right? I mean, we all have bills to pay, mouths to feed, and other various needs to be met. Especially for those who are financially restricted, it can become even more daunting to stay informed. I imagine those with great resources can probably divert more attention to more “frivolous” things, like world politics. But who knows. With money comes other types of problems, or so “they” say. After going through…

    It’s Golden for a Reason

    October 17, 2025

    You know what… It has to be said. You do what’s right—because it’s right. That’s it. No scoreboard. No audience. Just that quiet, unshakable pull inside that knows what good feels like. While everyone else struggles to swim upstream, chasing their next big step, maybe try just standing still. It gets your head above the water—and once you can breathe, you can lift others up too. Just remember: even when your head’s above water, you still need a life vest. Every Choice Shapes the Current Every single moment is full of choices. And each one sends you drifting down a…

    Content Warning: Recipes (No joke)

    October 7, 2025

    I’m going to take a break from politics to discuss a very serious concern that I have regarding the cultural identity of America. Secondarily, I think this matter speaks directly to the foundation of family values. I had a message to share from an early age. I was that nerdy kid with an electronic typewriter in the 90s, sitting in his ranch duplex, typing out a chapter from some random children’s novel purchased from the grocery store. Eventually, I graduated to typing out my mother’s recipes on an HP Pavilion Slimline. I found these recipes in a box the other…

    The Emperor and The State of His Apparel

    October 3, 2025

    Content note: this piece is a forceful political opinion and uses strong language. I do not condone violence, threats, or illegal activity in any form. When I say “take it back,” I mean nonviolent, civic action: vote, organize, protest lawfully, support community-led solutions, and hold public officials and institutions accountable through existing legal channels. If you want to take action, check out Vote.org or local community organizing groups. Waking up every morning and drinking my cup of coffee while reading the latest news has lost all its charm. I am so fed up with having to read article after article,…

    When Free Speech Gets You Fired, Democracy Is in Danger

    September 30, 2025

    On September 10, 2025, a political activist was assassinated by a lone gunman. I hadn’t planned to write about it, but a Washington Post article pushed me to speak up. The piece, “In Wisconsin swing district, criticism of Charlie Kirk sparks backlash”, reported that a Wisconsin teacher was placed on paid leave after posting online remarks about Charlie Kirk. Her words angered people in her small rural town—and politicians jumped on it. Kirk had said that having a Second Amendment means accepting some lives will be lost. The teacher called his words “hate” and said people “can’t be upset.” Were…

    A Theory of Everything: Consciousness at the Core

    August 19, 2025

    For centuries, physicists have tried to unify the rules of the very big (general relativity) with those of the very small (quantum mechanics). So far, no one has cracked it. But what if the missing piece is the most familiar thing of all — consciousness? This Theory of Everything (ToE) proposes that consciousness isn’t a byproduct of matter, but the other way around: matter itself arises from conscious processes. If that’s true, the implications stretch across science, technology, medicine, AI, and even how we see ourselves and each other. 35 Potential Advancements from a Consciousness‑Based ToE Here are some of…

    Kintsugi Consciousness

    December 23, 2024

    I was watching a video about consciousness and the guest in it said (and I hope I get this paraphrased correctly), that we’re all a neurotic because otherwise we would be in a dissociative state. Now, it’s probably important to note that when the guest brings this up, I don’t think he’s using these terms in the clinical sense. I think that he’s using them in the metaphorical or philosophical sense. Like, if we didn’t have the concerns and worries of ordinary life to tie us down, we could go into a reminiscent dissociative state. I think it’s an interesting…

    Make America Flee Again?

    November 10, 2024

    It’s been a couple of days since the election. If you haven’t heard already, Trump won the presidential election in the U.S. I won’t get into politics too much. I wanted to discuss tonight what I’m seeing in reaction to the election results. I just went onto Facebook wherein I saw multiple people talking about either leaving the United States, having left and never coming back, or a variation of the like. I saw a lot of this the first time Trump was elected, back in 2016. Don’t get me wrong. The first time that Trump was elected into office,…
