INTUITION vs. METRICS is a pretty symmetrical confrontation.

Copying models is a good way to start but isn't sustainable.

Feelings are more real than thoughts.

Illogical passions turn out to make a lot of sense when looking back.

Smaller sample sizes love specificities.

Statistics-based decision making versus natural decision making is really a battle between numbers and influence.

When you count people, they also have an unseen quality which makes them more or less compatible with your evolution projections.

Immortality given by writing things online is something that came up in a call I had with a lovely business owner. Here's a book I stole.

Well, here we are in 2025, with a city like Dubai that took Superstudio's joke superseriously.

Happy Easter Here are some bootleg books for you. This morning I woke up and saw the date - April 20th. I had the feeling it's an important date. Maybe someone's birthday. Maybe I'm forgetting something really important. And then it hit me. It was 420. If you know, you know.
