Sometimes we only realize what’s true when reality hits us hard.

Anyone else get sleepy once the plane’s in the air, no matter how much energy you had on the ground? Is it just the lower oxygen levels, or is there another explanation?

We're tiny fragments of the universe trying to understand itself. Our senses limit us, but sometimes we catch a glimpse of something greater.

You don’t need to hide behind ink and paper when humanity, reason, and compassion provide clearer answers.

Appreciate your honesty. It’s not for everyone, but I’m glad you still had a good time with it. Thanks for the kind words.

Small daily habits in learning, health, or finance can compound into life changing outcomes.

I’m not against paying taxes to support society, but how is it fair to tax something as volatile as Bitcoin? One year it’s worth €100k, the next €25k, yet you still pay tax on “wealth” you don’t have. Why is this the case in the Netherlands @belastingdienst.bsky.social?

Haha. It makes sense that these roads are familiar or that they remember the maps quite well, but it’s like they’ve memorized them for a topography exam tomorrow.

Am I the only one who never knows where I am when someone asks, “Where are you driving?” I’ll be on some random highway. Meanwhile, with barely any info, others go, “Ah, the A16, hectometer post 32.1, between this city and that one!” Why do they know this?

Shining a light on our hypocrisies helps us see our biases. Your ‘normal’ is just your perspective, shaped by your culture and upbringing.

We understand beauty because we've seen ugly. We know joy because we’ve felt pain. Without contrast, we'd know neither.

Happy Birthday, Derek! 🥳

Back in high school, all my friends were playing OSM during IT class. @jeroenderwort.nl started in a similar way my brother and I did. He grew his startup from his attic to 100M+ users. Beyond our shared love for games, it’s inspiring he also wrote a book about it. Check out his book: Scoren!

You move in the direction of what you consistently think about. To change your life, change your focus.

Ask yourself if the world is better with you in it, then live in a way that makes the answer yes.
