The Churchillian Drift
We are suckers to smart sounding famous quotes that are fake “BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD.” Gandhi.

Soul-Piercing Lessons of Life
From time spent listening to my daughter plays the violin Whoever invented the violin was a jerk.

The Sweetness of Tunnel Vision
Why we are addicted to getting dangerously stuck in our minds. We all know what the phrase tunnel vision or cognitive constriction means: it is a kind of rationale narrowing effect that happens inside the brain. You are dragged into this tiny narrow slit inside consciousness. It creates the difficulty, or even impossibility, for the…

40 Years of Being a Hong Konger
In the last few months, Hong Kong has descended into chaos. Riots, rallies, and street fights ripped through the city. I was born in the 70s, right at the watershed of the millennials and Generation X. I grew up with Nintendos and Japanese comic books. I lived through 1984 when the Mac and the Sino…
