My goal is to describe the basic building blocks of explanatory knowledge to simplify effective action and decisions making

“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough” - Albert Einstein

To understand complex ideas, we first need to master the basics. If someone uses complicated words, high-level ideas, or isolated comparisons, they likely don't know what they're talking about. Focusing on the basics is the best way to build our knowledge.

I aim to define the fundamental [ building blocks of reality and our human belief systems. As well as using them to construct techniques for optimal action and decision-making. This includes strategies for:

  • Reasoning in the face of complex systems
  • Setting killer goals
  • Consuming information effectively
  • Running and coordinating teams & businesses
  • Optimizing energy and attention levels
  • Being present

What I’m currently working on

  • ✉️ The Do-It newsletter → Every month I share what I'm working on and enjoying
  • 📑 The 5 acts model → a living e-book to break down the basics of how the world works
  • 📂  Notion templates → Like Life Goals OS. A complete goal-management system.
  • 📱 Apps → like: the Remynder Ritual Goalbot, which helps you set and accomplish goals

This is the place for you if you also enjoy these topics:

  • Reality, human nature, and science
  • Leaving the world better than you found it
  • Improving your effectiveness through self-awareness and specifying your intentions
  • Social and Technological innovations with a focus on decentralization
  • Human Progress and effective altruism
  • How knowledge creation and Artificial General Intelligence works

And, probably the wrong place if you're a fan of:

  • Merely optimizing how efficiently you work
  • Talking about issues but not solving them
  • Short-term zero-sum success over non-zero-sum dynamics
  • (Tech) doomsday prophecies
  • Believing that unsolvable problems exist
  • Unfalsifiable theories such as macroeconomics and postmodernism

My background

I’m a techy with organizational and leadership skills:

  • Active within and founder of social impact initiatives since 2018
  • From design intern to product manager to COO at Formelio. From start-up to scale-up. 2018 - 2023 and running
  • Notion evangelist since 2020

I seek to bridge the gap between complex theories and real-world applications by making dense information understandable, decision-making simple, and murky problems clear.

What I believe in

  • Progress
  • Optimalism & efficacy
  • Reality
  • Optimism
  • Fallibilism (Popperian & Deutschian Epistemology)
  • Rationality
  • Science
