Why do people buy things? Not for the thing itself or the ‘performance’ — they buy it for the design. Why Lamborghini is king Why do people buy a Lamborghini? Not for the performance. But for the flex! There is no harder flex than a Lamborghini. Why? It is the ultimate design object in terms…

To build off of the anti-romanticism notion: Let us consider– the best is yet to come. Our best selves are yet to come. Our best artwork is the best to come.

Some Nietzsche (will to power) vibes: Perhaps we as entrepreneurs and innovators and creators have a lust to expand. Expanding how so?

The other day I just test drove my friend Kevin’s Tesla Model 3 (Dual Motor) with the semi-autonomous driving function enabled. Some quick thoughts: Very fast: The torque and pickup on this thing is pretty insane. I do not envision actually needing or desiring a car any faster in terms of acceleration. When I gunned…

A bad trend in Style: You can’t open it, you can’t fuck with it, you can’t mend it (yourself), you can’t change or change it. This Is a Result of the genius and tyranny of Steve Jobs (much to the distress of Steve Wozniak). Wozniak wanted to make Apple apparatus that could be changed, modified,…
