Unfinished business should never be left unfinished.

It all about putting it together
There is no letter which is not a Mantra, there is no root which is not a medicine, there is no person who is incapable, the one who can put them all together is rare

Solutions too have problems

We make the tools and then tools make us
I sometimes think of the body and the world in our minds kind of creating a circuit. And so then, we introduce a tool into that circuit, and it's going to shape how we perceive the world, and it's going to shape how we interpret the world. And so the body is at the nexus of our experience of reality, and technology enters into that loop of perception in ways that can be benign, in ways that can be beneficial, in ways that can be detrimental. But it certainly changes it.

Undress your life to the bare minimum to live free
The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive.
The best colour in the world is the one that looks good on you.
Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.

Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.
Dress like you are going to meet your worst enemy today.
Feet Foundation Inc
You must find the courage to leave the table where respect is no longer being served.
Stop complaining about a situation that you have chosen to settle in
If you approach the mountain in fear, it will look bigger than it actually is.
There are only so many times you can roll a dice, before it lands on a six.
Your mind is your lead, inject it with positivity.
Your feet are your foundation, walk with purpose.
And your heart is your stamp, make it beautiful.
- Tene Edwards
Long live Ukraine
With patience, it is possible to dig a well with a teaspoon.
Luck always seems to be against the man who depends on it.
Work and you will be strong; sit and you will rot.
- Ukrainian Proverbs
To Russia
The usual contradictions of fascist rhetoric. We're superior, but victims. We're in charge, but our opposition is to blame for everything. We're winning, but be afraid all the time.
Learning machines
I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up...

Time’s not linear
There are decades where nothing happens, and then weeks where decades happen.

Disruption
The core characteristics of [social] disruption ... are that it:
1) stems from a loss of faith in a society's central institutions;
2) establishes a set of ideas from what was once the fringe of the intellectual world, placing them at the center of a revamped political order; and
3) involves a coherent leadership group committed to the change.
These disruptions are apparent in, but not synonymous with, some of the events commonly called revolutions.
Disruptions don't always change who is in charge – they are, in fact, sometimes necessary to preserve a government that is on the verge of failure. But they will at the very least change the way that a governing group thinks and acts.
