About

I aim to make the systems and laws that govern reality simple to understand. In other words, to give a straightforward description of how the world around us works.

I do this because I believe the fundamental explanations of reality lead us to the most suitable course of action.

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

To comprehend complex ideas, we need to understand the basics of logic. If someone can only describe something using intricate words, high-level abstractions, or highly specific comparisons, they likely don't understand what they're talking about. Hammering down the basics is the best way to build our knowledge.

I describe these basic building blocks of knowledge as well as apply them to construct techniques for optimal selection, execution, and learning. This includes strategies for:

Reasoning in the face of complex systems
Setting killer goals
Consuming information effectively
Running and coordinating your teams & businesses
Optimizing energy and attention levels
Taking responsibility (only) for all that you can control

What I’m currently working on

📑 The 5 acts model → My definitive breakdown of how the world works and how to apply the knowledge gained from it
✉️ The Do-It newsletter → Every month I share what I'm working on and enjoying
📂 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
Popperian epistemology

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

Merely optimizing how efficient or productive you are
Talking about issues but not solving them
Short-term zero-sum success over long-term win-win dynamics
(Tech) doomsday prophecies following the precautionary principle
Believing that unsolvable problems exist
Unfalsifiable theories such as macroeconomics and postmodernism

My background

I’m a techy with strong 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 to stay-up. 2018 - 2023 and running
Notion evangelist since 2020

What I believe in

Human Progress
Critical rationalism (Popperian & Deutschian Epistemology)
Optimalism & Effectiveness
Multiversal reality
Rational optimism

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.
