    Thanks! I think she might be a keeper, she satisfies the holy trifector of: stunningly beautiful, independent and driven, and can teach me so much and is happy to learn in return

    I’m in cloud cuckoo land, but keeping my adoration in check so as not to frighten her

    Weird. Had a major health scare a few weeks back, quite a few sleepless nights, and decided to take my health seriously. Cut out excess sugar and fizzy drinks (I still snack on nuts and fruit), and only one major meal a day (can be anything).

    20mins pilates every morning, 1hr cardio at the gym or other fitness class almost everyday. I’ve lost 6kg in 24 days. I feel sore, but great. In a month I’ll be down to 9 1/2 stone.

    Went on a date last weekend with an absolute beauty and it went really well (we scavenged a freecycle table using a locked ebike). I’m just… happy?

    Work is work, but I’m less affected by it


  • Learning to never be in view of the letterbox, that maybe having friends over isn’t okay and then letting them go as they quickly learn you can never reciprocate a house invite, avoiding the neighbours eyes, glancing wearily at each car that drives past, diving into books because anything else is too loud, …

    I can go on








  • Thoughts:

    You have to be in a position of power to make meaningful change.

    To rise to such a position requires sacrificing some morals and breaking a few eggs.

    The higher you rise the more wealth you need to punch up to accomplish your goals from those who don’t respect you.

    As the richest person in the world you now need to fend off all detractors, keep your frenemies happy to stop them turning on you, and use your power to finally make meaningful change, through several layers of lost perspective and forgotten empathy






  • It’s less accepting the uncertainties, and more seeing familiar patterns and constants and wondering of their nature. Why Pi, why 3 visible human dimensions, why the golden ratio in so many flora and fauna, why quark trios.

    The scientific answer to many of these is “Nature of the universe, energy minimization dictates, we have Math models”, all which are fine answers. But you do still question why those values/patterns compared to others, and the truth is we may never know. If we do, that’s amazing(!), but if not, that’s probably alright too.
