I am OPTimist

I am OPTimist. I am not willing to be defined by a few words—what I do is a living journey. I am a multidisciplinary artist, empirical polymath, writer, evolutionary astrologer, libertarian/Bitcoiner. My philosophy integrates Eastern, ancestral, and cosmological traditions with psychological inquiries, praxeology, and Austrian economics, emphasizing liberty, value, resources, and self-worth in the quest for individual and societal service. I create public art commissions and immersive

As I publish the article I wrote several days ago, the cosmic reality of these energies is becoming clear. Still, I leave you with this:Financial markets depict the ever-shifting equilibrium of human value. They are frequencies—mirroring the embodiment of our collective emotion, action, and belief. They correct, they reflect, they realign.In times of disruption, the most vital response is to keep stacking, keep creating—keep being alive.A reminder: uncertainty gives humans choices.

Methodos: the Inner Path of Pragmatization

2025/04/01

A journey through thought, technology, and the emotional body—toward embodied agency.Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about methodology.Not in the academic sense, not in some intellectualized framework—but as a way of living, of learning, of becoming through repetition. I’m someone who picks up on patterns easily. I observe. I repeat. I absorb. And then, through that empirical repetition, something starts to unfold. A way. A path. That’s the method.Right now, I’m immersed in artificial intelligence

The Struggle Between Discernment and SurrenderOne of Shakespeare's most profound explorations of discernment and surrender is found in Hamlet. Prince Hamlet is faced with a crisis of action and destiny, caught between his desire for justice and revenge and the need to trust the unfolding of fate.At the start, he overanalyzes everything—questioning reality, truth, and even his own instincts. His famous soliloquy, "To be or not to be," is an exercise in discernment: does he act rashly, or does he

Things Slipping Through Our Fingers

2025/03/07

This piece is a gift as we are in a profound time of delusion, disillusion, dissolution and renewal. With the Moon moving into Cancer today, we are invited to connect deeply with our inner world, with our emotional needs, and with the parts of ourselves that have been waiting to be embraced. As Mars in Cancer stirs action from the heart, this is a moment to step into clarity—not through force, but through synthesis. I hope this finds you at the right time...

So, I’ll be brief

I am OPTimist ·

2025/03/04

I’m in a deeply introspective space, and I want to take full advantage of it. I’ve been looking at time, at cycles, observing where we stand at the very end of one—something still undefined, something we cannot yet name. The less external noise I let in, the better. This way, whatever I perceive, whatever I feel, it’s coming from a higher place, not from the static and distortion of the outside world. And there is so much noise. So much noise.So, I’ll be brief.With Venus retrograde and an upcoming

The Glitch is the Crack

I am OPTimist ·

2025/02/17

The glitch is the fiat system. The glitch is the scam so deeply embedded in the fabric of daily life that most can’t even see it. It’s an economic Truman Show, designed to be too real to question, where the actors don’t even know they’re acting. The fiat illusion is glitching so hard that people mistake the distortion for reality, clinging to a system that is collapsing in real time.“All my Bitcoiner friends are so smart.” But is it because they understand money? Or because they see the scam? Does

The Madness of Don Quixote:

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams—this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness—and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be."—Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote de la ManchaFew literary characters have captured the paradox of human existence as profoundly as Don Quixote. He is the madman, the dreamer, the fool—and yet, within his supposed insanity lies a radical truth: he refuses to see

ANOTHER FREE ARTICLE FOR EVERYONE WITH LOVEThe language of Tlön resists the formulation of this paradox; most people did not even understand it. The defenders of common sense at first did no more than negate the veracity of the anecdote. They repeated that it was a verbal fallacy, based on the rash application of two neologisms not authorized by usage and alien to all rigorous thought: the verbs "find" and "lose," which beg the question, because they presuppose the identity of the first and of the
