There’s this trend on social media right now where Women ask the Men in their life how often they think about the Roman Empire. It’s quickly become a viral meme as the men sporadically answer with their surprisingly large knowledge of the Roman Empire, probably gained from watching Gladiator or 300 one too many times. The Fall of the Roman Empire is a important lesson in our past to learn. Tons of technology we use today was invented by the Roman Empire: Aqueducts, Roads, Medical Tool Usage, even the Julian Calendar (365 Days with One Leap Day Every 4 Years).
Popular Culture will always have a basis in Human Nature. Satire is an important trait for us to have, as it light heartedly helps us to understand ourselves, make fun of ourselves and forgive ourselves. I think that’s why a lot of us like comedians and humor, it’s a very base human feeling that universally invokes happiness inside all of us. A Comedian telling the truth about a certain situation he was in the other day or a Man sharing his knowledge about the Holy Roman Empire to his unaware Girlfriend is a way to grow closer together, both as servants of the empire and partner in a relationship.
Humor is an important part of that. I’d hope you would use more humor in your daily life, I guarantee you will be way more attractive in your relationships, despite how you look on the outside.
2 Ideas from my Me
The Creator Economy is a topic I am very interested in. The replacing of these big companies with a more authentic, personable creator for the information I need to solve a problem is such a welcome trend. Who wants to hire an expensive plumber from a faceless corporation to come fix your sink when some old guy can show you what to do in a YouTube video, and you could even DM him a picture and he’d most likely respond with what’s wrong, all for just taking part in his creative process. It’s what I’m trying to do for people with careers in Tech, offering the specific career advice that I never got as a youngin’ in the Tech industry, and I’m so glad you are here reading this and being a part of something with me.
There are something like 6.3 Billion pages on the Internet. The problem is not with the volume of information out there, it’s finding the relevant information you are searching for as fast as possible. Google revolutionized this with their search capabilities, AI is evolving it even now. Soon the Ironman Augmented Reality Computing like Platforms will become a, well, reality, and I’m here for it.
