There's a vague memory somewhere inside my head that I'm trying to bring into focus. My mother asking me about something, maybe a particular artist, a trend, something that she found confusing. And me

One discussion seems to follow me wherever I go these days. Can you choose what you believe? It's a question that appears constantly in debates about religion, particularly between believers and atheists.

Over a period of many, many years, I had taken on more responsibilities at work. Not all of them were expected of me, but of course they were welcomed. I had become an assistant without the title, someone

For a few days now, almost as if the universe has been conspiring to send me messages, I’ve been bumping into the same cohesive conclusion: anything can change, and I must be ready. I say this not to invite

I can’t possibly be the only one who thinks about this. In fact, I’m sure most of us, at some point, have wondered how certain conversations become so derailed so quickly. To be clear, not every subject

A few days ago, a friend brought up to me a curious yet increasingly common activity. A sign of the times, I suppose. Hate watching. The idea that people actively subscribe to content creators they absolutely

I was recently watching, to my own detriment, a conversation featuring Andrew Wilson and several opposing voices. For one reason or another, he seems to be invited onto these platforms quite often. I suspect

There is a hidden cost to putting yourself out there—an emotional cost—one that’s hardly mentioned because most of us are very self-conscious. A Journey of Validation Months ago, when I finally found the

A little philosophy to close the day. I think there is wisdom in this little story, even if its sprinkled with huumor. Much love -MenO ▶️ 3Speak

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve said in the past ten years that I’m an anarchist. To most people, when I say this, it sounds like I’m declaring war against the world. I think that reaction exists because

As with many viral videos on social media, there are always people who feel the need to copy them. A funny sketch, a prank, an inspiring phrase — something designed to hit you right in the feels. Normally

Turns out Senior Devs are still needed after all. You could argue its poetic justice of a kind, and it may be the case. But, I also think its part of the reality of the Bubble we are living in. I like

I can’t remember where I heard the story, but that hardly matters. In truth, there are countless similar stories out there, and plenty of books that deep-dive into the subject. So why do I feel like I
