“The life of man, solitary, nasty, brutish, and short.” It’s interesting to think about what a man like Thomas Hobbes would say when asked about a world without privacy. Hobbes often likes to imagine a “state of nature” when analyzing humans, and what he is referring to is essentially a lawless and government-less land where…

I sometimes like to imagine a world in which privacy doesn’t exist. Let’s say, that at any point in time, you could open up your laptop, and see a livestream of anyone in the world. Anyone in the world. At any time. At the same time, anyone in the world can open their laptop, and…

All my life, I had wet my toothbrush twice. Once before I applied any toothpaste, and once afterwards. I’d continue this for a while, until sometime in college. I had a roommate from California who only wet his toothbrush one time. He’d wet his toothbrush, apply the paste, and brush away. I never really asked…

My first ever college coding exam took place online, without any type of Honorlock or screen monitoring technology.…

This weekend, I spent three days playing golf with some friends in Scottsdale, Arizona. We got to play some exciting and really great courses out there. My team came up short, and in the end I let my partner down, but it was an incredible time. I couldn’t have been happier this weekend. Meanwhile, I…

This year has been such an odd year for me. Usually, I’m obsessed with the NFL and fantasy football. For some reason this year I just haven’t been as interested in it. I find myself watching other TV or movies on Sunday instead of football. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad…

Every year, my friends and I create a Minecraft world. Typically around Christmas time, we’ll spend two weeks playing, and ultimately leave the world for dead in less than a month. This always frustrated me, as all of my hard “work” went out the window after a month. Only to repeat the same work every…

This isn’t for you. This is for me. Inspired by Mark Manson, I’ve challenged myself recently to try caring less about what people think. I won’t pretend that this is some new idea or that I’ve hit some Eureka! moment here. In my long and excruciating twenty four years of life I’ve found that the…
