Fake! https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Oct12_Post.mp4 A lot of people say movies aren’t realistic. There are a couple of problems with this critique. One is they don’t need to be realistic.

Slowly Leave The Pack Behind
Critical Costs https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Oct09_Post.mp4 Economics is called the dismal science. Why? Because it doesn’t lead to happy endings. Regular science is all about inventing things.

Stop Chasing Illusions
Unlimited Desires https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Oct06_Post.mp4 Everybody wants things. Everybody wants to get rid of things. Everything costs something. Nothing is free.

Leverage The Human Condition

Eject Fakeness and Fear
Not Funny https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug17_Post.mp4 I took an improv class once. I had not idea what it was, it was recommended to me. I thought it was going to be about comedy. But it was about improv in the context of any kind of stage acting. Plays are based on memorized lines. […]
Become A Master of Time
Slow People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug13_Post.mp4 The transition from hunting to farming was very, very slow. At least 5,000 years. The last ice age ended about 11,000 years ago.
