The data on AI and suicide doesn’t support the panic — and the panic itself may be costing lives. Twelve documented AI-linked deaths against 49,000 annual suicides. The ratio matters.
AI Isn’t Killing People. Loneliness Is.

Hardcore Bathroom Capitalism
I was in Brussels for FOSDEM and discovered that Europeans have hardcore bathroom capitalism — tap-to-pay turnstiles to use the toilet. Meanwhile, in “capitalist” America, bathrooms are free. The labels don’t match reality.
Who We Are
Who We Are I was sitting at a bar the other night, just leaning into the hum of the room. The guy on the stool next to me was easy to talk to—the kind of stranger you feel like you’ve known for years after just ten minutes. We talked about the local football scores, the
Analyzing President Trump’s Inner Circle in The Context of Executive Presence
I recently finished the Executive Presence and Influence: Persuasive Leadership Development class through Wharton. During the class, I took really good notes. I used these notes, and all of the homework to create an Executive Coach in a Gemini Gem. Basically, a Gemini Gem gives you a way to pre-seed any questions you ask the

Why I’m Not Voting Third Party for President
Here we are in 2020 with another set of sub-optimal choices between two candidates for president. I don’t think it’s quite as bad as 2016, but neither are exciting. You could not convince me to go out and proactively campaign for either one of these candidates. Sigh. If you even kinda concur with my above

Background The right way to compare the Covid-19 response is by Metropolitan Statistical Area in the US, or a roughly equivalent methodology which most other countries use (Example: Germany uses Metropolitan Regions). These metro areas are the best unit of measurement when comparing a country’s response because of several reasons: A metro area represents a

Celebrating our Survival
I am not celebrating his death, I am celebrating our survival. I’m celebrating the ones that try. Survival is savagely satisfying. Each day is a blessing. Within each of us burns the desire to survive; given to us by our ancestors spanning 15-20K generations of hard work. Through cold, rainy, hungry days. Through dry, thirsty,
A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Abortion
I’ve noticed that I have a lot of friends with wildly ranging opinions on Abortion. This made me curious about the statistics. Here are some observations that I found interesting about the numbers: More men in the United States are pro-choice more than pro-life [1] 46% pro-life, 48% pro-choice All women over 30 years old

My Theory on the Electoral College
People think the electoral college failed in the 2016, so now they want to get rid of it. Correlation, is not the same thing as causation. What if it was something else that failed? If we saw a car crash, and the airbag failed to save someone’s life, would we argue to get rid of
