The Northern 📍

  The Future of Optimism        Peter Thiel talks about the future, and the optimistic or pessimistic view each group holds, in his book Zero to One. It’s an incredible way to view and understand the world, in a light which we often miss when living within our homeland.        The idea that each country, and by extension its people, view the future with a different lens, is unique. Although it may seem sheltered, most individuals seem to not differentiate between how each region has a different opinion on what lays ahead for humanity. Growing up in Canada, I’ve always simply believed that the world held similar beliefs or goals towards what they wished to accomplish in the not-so-distant future. About how we all wish to achieve abundance and wealth, through medicine and technology, to build a better world. How we all share a common belief that the future which lays ahead is one where prosperity for all is possible. Where we as human beings ca...

  The Game is to Rob You.      The entire point of the world, here in the West, is to waste and steal your potential.      A world, where opportunity lay everywhere. Where new people, new connections, new adventures, lurk just around the corner. A world, where anything is possible. And yet, we choose not to pursue. We choose not to chase after greatness. We choose, to be numbed down and surrounded by the current trends, to keep us high on our loneliness.        The very world we live in, has become a system of traps. The cure to our isolation, has become nothing more than our crutch. The drug, which was meant to cure us, has transformed into nothing more than a dependancy that we simply cannot shake. All the while, we the people, who continue to get high, are being overruled and overplayed, but those who are supplying the drugs.   ٭      The dealers are now in charge. Much like the Pablo Escobar’s of the drug wor...

  Why Keep Fighting?      Why wake up every morning, and go to arms? Why fight a system which has continued to steam-roll throughout history, achieving whatever it is deemed necessary? Why bother even trying to stop the inevitable, which is bound to arrive like rain on a dark, clouded day?      As time goes on, the struggle to continue becomes evident. Hours of research and history show that the world will continue to move forward in a pattern which seems to be already decided. The will of the people no longer play a crucial part. The wheels of motion continue to turn, with little to no regards for anything else. The system is designed to continue moving forward, no matter the cost.      History is littered with violence and oppression. It is filled to the brim with insane concepts which have shaped the global landscape. The never-ending tide of war, killing hundreds of millions of men, since the beginning of time. Some things simply can...

  How Do You Own Disorder?      Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep. That is where the answers lie. Between the light and darkness. Between the chaos and peace. Make no mistake, we are in it. We are on the verge of tipping the scales towards things never seen before.        Reality is crazier than any written fiction. Fiction requires itself to make sense. Reality does not. Many do not realize this quite yet, however more and more people are slowly waking up. They are beginning to see that things clearly are not adding up. That no matter where they turn, there is artificially-orchestrated outrage. That the entire world seems to be acting upon some external force. That the strings which have held us together for so long, are all being un-spun. I wish it were not so, however there is not much I can do. I am but a man, sitting here on my computer, typing words into oblivion. I pray that my works may one day even save those who come next, l...

  All-In To Win.      Some games, you only get to play when you’re willing to go all-in. When you’re willing to stick your neck out, and risk everything. When something matters so much to you, you willingly accept the task of dedicating your life to it. You risk your own future and well-being upon the ideas based within your head.      The future is bleak, especially for those who sit by and stand idle. Those who are not willing to get involved, or willing to try and improve the situation. Everybody becomes complacent, waiting for somebody else to do whatever it is which must be done. The standing around and waiting becomes more and more common, the more each and every individual is trapped in their own reality.        Endless entertainment is meant to rob every man and woman of their true potential. Their true purpose. Constantly being bombarded with non-stop television, non-stop sports, non-stop gambling. 24/7, there is always som...

  Strange Love!      What is love, anyways? Just a chemical reaction in your brain after it’s been rewired into feeling something it once forgot? Or is it more- something that transcends our own understanding?        In the movie Interstellar, Dr. Brand is obsessed with the idea that Love is a force which can transcend between space, time and reality. She stands by the thought that perhaps love is the ultimate force, which is what will pull them to safety and keep them from perishing in the deep, cold emptiness of outer space. In the end, I suppose she was right.      Love is such a weird thing anyways. Is it purely an emotion you experience? How do you know when you are in love? Have you ever been in the first place? Or have you simply accepted certain emotions as Love and live a life of lies? The question itself begs multiple answers, no doubt about it. I don’t have any of them.      If emotions are simply triggers,...
