Vicissitudes

Investor Update #9

| November 1, 2022

Vicissitudes

If our baseline narrative is 100% successful, one bad moment may seemingly deem the rest of the progress—the integral—irrelevant and worthless. I think this mindset is often a helpful propellant. But I’d like to get past that way of thinking. Life isn’t this binary.

Societal Fear of Technology

Investor Update #3

| May 1, 2022

Societal Fear of Technology

People conceptualize a lot of technology innovation today from what they read about in books and watch in TV/Cinema. But I think they only tell a small part of the story of how the inputs we receive influence our thoughts on the future of technology.

Paradoxes in Privacy, War, and Life

Investor Update #2

| April 4, 2022

Paradoxes in Privacy, War, and Life
