Do you remember our friend Doppler from the novel of the same name by Erlend Loe? Our Norwegian friend who had enough of everything and went to live in the forest? As you probably recall, our brilliant friend, on one hand, had grown weary of people and their presence, and on the other, longed…
John Wick Vigo Tarasov: I hear you struck my son. Aurelio: Yes, sir, I did. Vigo Tarasov: And may I ask why? Aurelio: Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick’s car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog. Vigo Tarasov: [silence] Oh… (From the film “John Wick”) A quiet and silent man had the crazy…
Akira “The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads. There must be a future that we can choose for ourselves” – Kiyoko (“Akira”) Eh, “Akira”… if you ask someone if they know who (or what) “Akira” is, most likely it’ll be one of these two answers: either they don’t…
Do you know what common thread runs through names like Norman Vincent Peale, Tony Robbins, or the now-cult documentary/book “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne, as well as dozens of other successful individuals in the world of business, motivation, and whatnot? They all share one thing in common: a small, blue booklet that you’ve probably…
This is a series about the present. About our reality. It’s about how mega-corporations and states feed us information through various media, the kind we want to hear.

Neon Genesis Evangelion “If Neon Genesis Evangelion were a person, I would need serious professional help after working with them” – Sigmund Freud (Viennese neurologist, considered the father of modern psychotherapy) Saying that “Neon Genesis Evangelion” is a serious mindfuck wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Although the series came out almost 28 years ago, this…
Ikigai is one of those terms (or, more accurately, concepts) that’s difficult to directly translate, similar to expressions like “maktub“, “raison d’être“, or “flow“. However, if we were to attempt a translation, it could be described as “joy due to continuous engagement“. Essentially, it refers to something akin to the meaning of our existence,…
The Song of Achilles When it comes to choosing books, for me (I believe, and for a good number of other people) it’s based on two approaches: either I choose a book intuitively/instinctively (i.e., something strongly attracts me to the title) or I’ve previously researched the book, reviews and the like (though I apply this…
