while reading, consider taking a ‘me talking to myself’ perspective. italicized questions are open questions i've asked myself. please let me know if you think about them!

if you like the content / style of anything, i'll consider iterating upon it. if you dislike the same, i'll consider removing it. if you disagree with anything i said, i'll consider updating it. after all, these ideas are alive and meant to grow.

finally, i'd be a fool to take credit for any of the ideas expressed. they simply reflect the least wrong ideas i currently know and question. how they came to me is an open investigation lol

the ideas nearest and dearest to my heart :)

• perhaps, just perhaps (12.31.25)

• A Whitewashed Tomb (12.1.25)

• where are you? (10.31.25)

• nothing & nowhere else (4.30.25)

• vibrational equations (2.9.25)

• only you (9.30.22)

• Headless In The Clouds (8.13.22)

• Stop And Experience The Flowers (6.30.22)

• between the tree and me (5.26.22)

• discourses with the unknown (4.21.22)

• on divinity (3.3.22)

• on better prizes (2.3.22)

commemorating individual beings, whether human or otherwise, who have substantially impacted my life’s trajectory

because many lives preceded my own, these reflections strive to narrate the works and days of these individuals before they i met them

hopefully, posterity finds as much, if not more, value in these lessons as did i :)

• papa aka sunil mathews // on papa, 1st of many (9.23.25) / father

• mama aka anie mathews // on mama, 1st of many (7.14.25) / mother

• dojay aka thomas rahul mathews // on dojay, 1st of many (5.29.25) / brother

• alice thomas // burning hearts (12.13.24) / maternal grandmother

• ammini susan mathews // dream grass (6.29.23) / paternal grandmother

• on my friends (6.28.25) / on my 11 closest friends

• kobe bryant // the mamba’s mind (1.26.25) / mindset inspiration

guidance for my ongoing expedition to experientially validate the hypothesis: i am more than my physical body; or, to be painfully precise, i am more than the arrangement of quarks constituting my physical body; or, to be more general, i am more than how i appear, how i seem to be; otherwise said, how i seem to be is less than what i am

drawing inspiration from the fundamental particles, this will manifest in 6 flavors:

• charm // archés mēns ~ guidance (3.1.25) / investigating interpersonal dynamics

• down // tempus ousía ~ guidance (11.20.23) / inquiring into time

• up // TBD / on time, pt. 2 (pushing pace, perhaps?)

• strange // TBD / on indecipherable, dynamic semantic contexts that evidently exist

• top // TBD / on feeling like you're on top of the world

• bottom // TBD / on feeling like you're at the bottom of the world

note: i faithfully believe that data supporting my hypothesis will manifest in more than just these 6 "flavors" of experience; the cognitive scaffolding simply mapped too well for me to refrain from giving a shot 😂

• jort peff (8.22.25) / meta-reflections on the creative process

progress for the sake of progress transforms the world into a beautiful wasteland without any values: a trophy of human achievement but a tombstone for the human spirit since all that we hold near and dear has been eradicated for the purposes of economic achievement

i believe every culture has built up tremendous reserves of scholarly wisdom re: living a good life - a majority of which is tucked away and inaccessible to most people

i want to share the best ideas i know, transmitting these timeless messages and serving as a clarifying conduit of this wisdom

• Deconstructing The Monkey and The Horse Gram (5.12.22)

• Deconstructing The Lion that Sprang to Life (3.16.22)

as a uomo universale exploring the entire depth of his existence, i enjoy thinking about business, biology, astronomy, tech, history and politics from a forward-facing point-of-view

the liminal space where pragmatism 🤝 reverie

• Imagining an Open Metaverse (4.7.22)

be well, happy journeys and please let me know what you find :)

p.s. this will be an evergreen work in process (“wip”), so circle back!
