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

“Space and time form a psychological a priori, an aspect of the archetypal quaternity which is altogether indispensable for acquiring knowledge of physical processes.” — Carl JungHey, how’s everybody?-How to trust him [within], not them [the noise]This week, I’m going to go geeky. Geeky all the way.This article is going to be about charts and small talk it is quite long so pace yourself, because I want you to look at these charts and try to make sense in your life.

NOTE: These recording sessions bring so much value into my life. As I reflect out loud on my insights, my hope is that they offer you value too. What I'm sharing today feels especially significant. When I began recording these thoughts, I had no idea they would lead to a profound revelation. That's the beauty of genuine reflection—sometimes a simple exploration opens doors to deep healing. If my journey resonates with you, perhaps it might illuminate aspects of your own path. As you'll see, the

Note:I think everyone needs a break—from the universe, from AI, from fake news, from many, many lies, from everyone stabbing each other in the back, from fake money, pedophile enablers, and from a delusional era peaking this late spring—before swinging back in the fall to give us, again, yet another slap of deception slash truth. A break to see through the veil—because 2026 is coming, baby!Listen to my rant if you may—otherwise, read the transcript.Be well !AI generated summary and timestamps: 🪐

Living Frequency: The Shape of Silence and the Rhythm of the VoidRhythm of My PresenceI think I know what’s going on… with me.In my chart, I shine through the fifth house. Once my heart opens, that’s where my power and self-validation live. And I’ve done that—I’ve opened it. I also have Neptune and my Moon on the Midheaven, so I ought not care too much about how I’m seen, received, or whether I get applause. I know better.And yet—sometimes I confuse one thing for the other.It’s a distortion when I

In 1999, or the year 2000, whenever The Matrix came out, I remember watching the movie and being completely mesmerized. But one of the reasons why I was so mesmerized is because I used to be high as a kite, and used to just engage my life very high on dope. I remember what the movie's about, like all the stuff that I watched at the time. I never re-watched, I just don't feel like it. But everything that I watched, I went really deep into it. I thought I needed to engage with substances so I could

The Week Before I Turn 61Okay, so I'm preparing my article for next week. It's the week before my birthday. I'm going to be 61 years old. I want to do a little bit of a revision of what the last 12 months—or probably 18 months—have been in my life since my mother passed, and how I see that I'm taking charge of many things that were there, but I was not focusing on.I just want to go deep into all the decisions that I've been making, and where I feel that my life could be leading.

In Between Two Worlds

2025/04/15

The last two weeks, I’ve been living inside contrast.And contrast, when allowed to ripen, becomes clarity.In Dallas, I stood before a room of people aligned with sovereignty—not just ideologically, but practically. People who understand the value of scarce time, who recognize that nobody is coming to save them, and who have chosen to act.Although most of the room defends their freedom, not everyone has connected Bitcoin to purposeful behavior.They speak of liberty, but haven’t yet linked sovereignty

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

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

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...

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

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

"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
