This graphic novel by Owen Pomery reminds me of True detective season 4 with Jodie Foster.
I wish it would have been longer.
Read a better review from Nikhil.
Everyone is lying to you for money
This documentary by Ben Mackenzie is about why cryptocurrency is a scam (see evidence here).
I wish it would have gone in a bit more detail, it’s only 90min with a lot of unnecessary b-roll kind of moments and not enough meaty in-depth knowledge.
It’s just OK. I had really high hopes for it.
You can watch it here.
Gray Matter
Things are...
Things are the way they are because we have consistently made the choices that have led to this outcome.
We have for the most part, democracies and capitalist societies because we have decided that these systems work best for us.
Things are the way they are because we have chosen for them to be this way.
We have chosen and built this version of the world, our collective and consistent decisions over a very long time have taken us where we are.
We vote who represents us, therefore we chose what political views and values to support.
We decide who to do business with, therefore we buy and sell to whom we chose and make them grow implicitly.
Pancho
This is Pancho, he is our Spanish Water Dog. He’s very lovable with those he like, not so much with anyone else.

I recently finished reading “Do Less yet Achieve More” by Nicholas Bate.
Worth reading to fully understand and absorb the Pareto principle.
Pros: The personal anecdote at the beginning really opened my eyes to many things.
Cons: This book could have been a blog post.
‘Life is for living, not always following an optimised plan.
Old School
Yesterday I finished reading “Old school” by Nicholas Bate. A short, sharp case for going back to basics. No clever systems, no shortcuts — just a reminder that focus, discipline, and doing the work properly still matter. It reads fast. Worth it.
‘Old school’ means living by timeless principles. Who doesn’t value punctuality or resourcefulness under pressure? These qualities are never obsolete; they form the foundation for working and living with ease.
