This piece explores how deeply capitalism has shaped our inner lives — not just our work or our wallets, but our values, identity, and sense of purpose. It asks what remains when we strip away the inherited stories and return to our original essence, our unconditioned knowing. It’s an invitation to question the structures that have defined us, and to rediscover the freedom we unknowingly traded along the way.

Every so often, a truth we’ve lived by begins to fracture. What once felt steady and self-evident no longer holds. The mind resists, the heart hesitates, and we question how something once sacred could suddenly feel hollow. Yet this breaking is not collapse — it’s transformation. The moment a past truth gives way, we stand at the threshold of what’s next, if only we’re willing to look beyond the shards and keep walking.
What if free will is just an illusion, and the life we live is a game within a game? Across centuries, sacred texts and mystics promise enlightenment, yet the contradictions of existence remain. This essay confronts those tensions, questioning the narratives we inherit and what it truly means to be free.
We like to think we have time — that tomorrow or next year we’ll finally sit down and give life to the things that matter most. But time has never been ours to control. This piece is a reminder, to myself as much as anyone, of what’s lost when we wait, and what’s possible when we stop waiting.
How to Get Away from the Crazy
Most people feel it long before they can name it — the quiet sense that something fundamental is off in the way we live, work, and organize our lives. We move through routines that drain us, systems that demand obedience, and structures that promise progress while hollowing out the very things that make us human. Beneath the noise, a deeper truth keeps pressing through the cracks — that much of what we’ve accepted as normal is anything but natural, and the cost of participating grows heavier by the year. This piece is an attempt to trace that unease back to its source, to examine the mechanisms that keep us compliant, and to consider what becomes possible once we stop pretending the modern world is built on anything real.
