On Pornography, Sexuality and Self-Esteem
Long time no write up! You’ll have to excuse my lack of posts this past month. As always, I get occupied with studies and other parts of my life. In particular this month involved some health concerns which needed prioritizing, but I’m fine and quite healthy after all, so no problem. This blog post is […]
On Men, Emotions and Masculinity
Recently I have been exposed to different convictions regarding the topic of men and their emotions, and much of it has primed me to begin writing a little bit about it, as not only does it pertain to my own gender, but is also a fairly important topic of discussion, particularly in the realms of […]
Abandonment and Rejection – Insidious Self-Sabotage
It’s been a little while since my last post! I’ve been very busy doing other things, such as going on my one year anniversary trip with my partner and also thinking about what I’d like to do during my long summer vacation. Part of the things that I want to do more of is write, […]
My First Book – Published
A short post, but today is the day my book has finally gone live! I started work on my book as a collection of thoughts and graphs on A4 papers, and eventually turned it into a short book on teaching language, problems faced in Japan and methods to approach teaching. It’s all based off of […]

They can range from extremes of profound pleasure such as happiness, joy and contentment, to catastrophically painful states such as grief, depression and guilt. Some schools of thought consider emotions as states that are beyond our capacity to control and something we […]
Values: Relational and Objective
In my previous post on discussing love, what it is and why it is conditional, I had written that values are objective. Today’s post will delving more into the topic surrounding values, ethics and their roots with epistemology necessarily being attached to it. Here I discuss the two major schools of thought that currently dominate […]
On Love: Conditional by Default
I answer a lot of questions on Quora, a website where people can ask questions and receive answers from all kinds of people; whether it be from academics, blue collar workers or very scary Objectivist’s such as myself. It’s an enjoyable activity of mine, and I usually focus on the topics that are of biggest […]
