I am excited about being alive. I am excited that there is so much to know. I have a "To Be Read" book list, and the list just keeps growing. The number of books on my list would take me a few years to get through. I am excited about this. I just have this ravenous appetite to want to know more. To consume more. To learn more about the world and the people in it. I have a list of podcasts...
I have always wanted to be a pharmacist. During my final year in secondary school, I remember going online almost every day to research whether pharmacy was a lucrative career to pursue. All indications were that it was. <span style="background-colo...
In Greek mythology, there is a famous character called Sisyphus who was condemned by the gods to push an immense boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top. He had to repeat this process for all eternity. Sisyphus' entire existence was defined by endless, laborious, futile monotony. You see, Sisyphus aimed to push the boulder to the top of the hill and t...
Proprietary and Closed-Source Financial risk analysis tool for corporate treasuries with BTC holdings. A web-based application that models complex financial instruments (PIPEs, ATMs, convertible notes, and loan structures) to optimize corporate treasury decisions when dealing with Bitcoin holdings. The app provides both "as-is" historical replication (for...
1. "There is, simply, no way, to ignore privacy. Because a citizenry’s freedoms are interdependent, to surrender your own privacy is really to surrender everyone’s. You might choose to give it up out of convenience, or under the popular pretext that privacy is only required by those who have something to hide. But saying that you don’t need or want privacy because you have nothing to hide is to...
Sometimes I think about Elon Musk. How can a man like that ever know when someone truly loves him? Elon Musk is a man who needs no introduction, but I will introduce him all the same. Elon is the wealthiest man in the world. The wealthiest man in the history of humanity. He is richer than entire countries. How can a man in command of such immense wealth ever know when someone genuin...
I have been meaning to write about NYSC for a while now but I held back because it didn't feel right to write about something I hadn't experienced especially when what I had in mind was very critical. A few days ago, I was on the phone with one of my colleagues Sonia, and I told her that I felt as though I didn't have an open mind about ...
1. Sir Alexander Fleming's 1945 Nobel Prize speech: “But I would like to sound one note of warning. Penicillin is to all intents and purposes non-poisonous so there is no need to worry about giving an overdose and poisoning the patient. There may be a danger, though, in underdosage. It is not difficult to make microbes resistant to penicillin in the laboratory by exposing them to concentr...
1. "In writing. Don't use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was "terrible," describe it so that we'll be terrified. Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, ...
The Wire is, in my opinion, the greatest TV show of all time. I've seen most of the other contenders for the title - Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Better Call Saul, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Boardwalk Empire, etc. But nothing compares to The Wire. Its portrayal of systemic corruption, its depiction of urban life, the depth of its characters, the realism, the grit - it's just utterly incredib...
