I once had a dream that our daily life is a simulation being observed, and that it has been repeated many times without our awareness. If we keep making the same choices over and over again, the observer becomes bored, cuts off our opportunities, and reboots the simulation.
Have you ever felt that certain subjects are unexpectedly easy to learn, or that some things “click” the first time you encounter them?
Perhaps it isn’t truly the first time.
I’m also inspired by the idea of running daily life as a series of A/B tests—comparing the consequences of different behaviors. This concept came from an interview I once heard, and it immediately made sense to me. Most of my choices have been conservative for as long as I can remember, so I’ve rarely known the consequences of choosing differently.
On top of that, the learning I’ve done over the past two years has shown me that many of my inherited beliefs from the past thirty years were simply wrong or counterproductive.
So why not experiment?
Why not discover what actually works—especially when it involves inspiring but uncomfortable actions that challenge my old internal system?
This blog documents those experiments: beginning with escaping soul-crushing corporate life, and extending into money and investing, making and building tools, and the psychological and philosophical learnings toward true self.
