by Lachlan Brown: It can be hard to find meaning and purpose sometimes… We spend so much time working and being busy that we forget to stop and look inside ourselves to see what we really desire in life. Fortunately, sages and mystics over the years have encountered the same problem, resulting in valuable wisdom we all…
UN Security Council Resolution 2803 arrives in Gaza at a moment of exhaustion and uncertainty, offering the promise of stabilisation and a blueprint for rebuilding after months of devastation. Backed by major powers and framed as a route out of conflict, it introduces an international force and a U.S.-led board to oversee the Strip’s recovery….
We make sense of this world by inventing stories about what our senses tell us is happening. If enough people ‘agree’ on the veracity of these stories, they then become myths (= “popular” stories), and hence very hard not to believe. These stories, however, have no value in affecting what we actually do, as I’ve…
I have in past argued that our beliefs and worldviews are merely after-the-fact rationalizations of what we want to believe happened, and of what we want to believe were the reasons for these events happening. I keep insisting that our behaviours — what we actually say and do — are conditioned solely by the behaviours…

An exploration of the nature of time, why it seems so ‘real’ to us, and the profound implications of that in terms of humans’ unique and often destructive and unhealthy behaviours. Sora used my sidebar photo, taken last week, and a black-and-white photo of me taken when I was 6, to create this composite photo…

If you’re anything like me, gift-giving is an art form. I love the thrill of finding just the right thing for the people I love—something thoughtful, personal, and perfectly them. But what’s a gift without the vessel that introduces it? Sure, it’s what’s inside that matters (in more ways than one), but that first moment…
After spending over a decade building and scaling an online marketplace for heavy equipment rentals, with $60 million CAD in total funding, Kitchener-Waterloo construction technology company Dozr’s assets were unceremoniously sold last month to help a stiffed lender recoup some of its capital. The process kicked off in late September when senior secured creditor RBC…
