Turning Thirty Two

March 8, 2021

Steven McCormack

And at this point in my life, do I have any pearls of wisdom? I think I do. Seek new experiences. Trust your instincts. Take risks while you can. Fall in love. Look after yourself, both physically and mentally. Seize your opportunities. And most important of all, Never Stop Learning. That is the true nectar of life. I wonder if my Forty Two year old self would agree?

Friday Reflections, Volume I.

March 5, 2021

Steven McCormack

In those moments when you are passed from pillar to post, it is very easy to drop those tasks you really care about. It is very easy to switch off the brain and do what's expected of you. To conform. Yet I accept that this is all part of the journey. One of many ups and downs. One with breakthroughs where you least expect them, and setbacks that cut very deep.

Working From Anywhere

March 2, 2021

In our paperless age, and with most knowledge roles based from a screen, it is so god damn easy to work from anywhere. And if it is so god damn easy, then why do we continue to inhabit these stuffy depressing offices? What possible reason is there to inhabit these spaces for 8 hours of your day?

Calling Somewhere Home

March 1, 2021

I've just moved into a new house, in a beautiful suburb of central Melbourne. And what a difference. After a few years of chopping and changing, finding myself in leaky apartments and minuscule studios, the benefits are already clear. I am benefitting from a clear mind. Previously, I viewed where you live in mechanical terms; a secure space to eat, sleep and store a few possessions. That was misguided.

A Fulfilling Life

This will feel more personal. Perhaps random at times. The intent in my heads feels more clear however. How on earth do I channel my energies into something worthwhile, and everlasting. Or something like that. ‍

The Search for Consciousness
November 22, 2024
Steven McCormack

The search for consciousness—what it is and where it comes from—challenges us to rethink what it means to be human. As science begins to validate what tradition has long taught, a new perspective emerges: we are more than physical beings. Consciousness is the bridge between the material and the divine, shaping our experiences and connecting us to the greater whole. Just as Bitcoin revealed a new way to think about trust, exploring consciousness may reveal a new way to think about existence. Whether we call it God, quantum mechanics, or the soul, the message is the same: we are all part of a vast, interconnected system, and through understanding it, we might better understand ourselves.

The Great Crypto Schism
November 23, 2021
Steven McCormack

For a few weeks now I've been trying to establish a clear worldview on the wider Crypto landscape. Y'see, I'm fairly settled on the epic store-of-value proposition that is Bitcoin. I've dived into the gory details, gained some practical skills, and completely overindulged in the 24/7 debates sparked in Twitterland. And just like a BTC-Big Mac in El Salvador, it all feels rather warm, gooey.....and potentially fatal. So to address this intellectual comfort, I must stress-test my understanding of Bitcoin. I must fuel my curiosity by casting a wider net.

Global Truth, Local Value
August 27, 2021

At this point, it is worth wondering what all this research represents. We seemingly have an answer crying out for a question. To that end, there are a few good candidates. Is Bitcoin a response to monetary distortion? Government largesse, perhaps? Is Bitcoin a dry, technical update for the internet? I would contend that it does all those things. And excellently so. But there is also a more profound, universal quandary to address.
