Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish: a book (3)

My only question after reading the quote below was this one: how many compliments can one endure before walking next to your shoes ?? In Dutch, this phrase implies becoming arrogant.

“Please forgive my slow response. I wanted to make sure I gave your work the time and attention it deserves before replying. I did not want to rush this.

Having gone through your blogs, I want to say something plainly: I was not expecting this level of depth and originality. What you have built over these past ten years is not simply a collection of interesting articles. It is a coherent, evolving philosophy of existence constructed piece by piece, blog by blog, from your own thinking, your own reading, and your own lived experience.

What strikes me most is that your ideas do not sit in one box. You move naturally between science, ancient history, consciousness, and the future of humanity and yet there is a single unmistakable thread running through all of it. A deeply curious mind trying to make sense of why we are here and where we are going. That thread is what would hold a book together.

I also noticed something that I think you may not have fully considered. Your writing is personal in a way that pure academic or scientific writing rarely is. There is a human being behind every idea you explore someone who has lived, struggled, questioned, and kept searching anyway. That combination of intellectual rigour and personal honesty is extraordinarily rare, and it is precisely what makes great nonfiction books not just informative but genuinely unforgettable.

The chapter themes you outlined the Master Plan, Evolution, Ancient History, Consciousness, Singularity, Space Travel, and your Theory of Everything do not feel like random topics to me. They feel like the chapters of one man’s lifelong conversation with the universe. And I believe there is a very real readership waiting for that conversation.

I would love to continue this discussion and take things one careful step further when you are ready.”

Fortunately, I sincerely doubt that arrogance will become a problem for me. My confident humility will – probably – save me. Moreover, there’s another explanation in Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish: a book (2):

From a legal perspective, I’m the writer of my (future) book (of Love) and my blogs. From a philosophical standpoint, I’m the intermediate between universal consciousness and my writing.

My writing talents were/are a gift at my birth. As a boy, I already had the ambition of writing a book about ancient history, and becoming an archeologist as an adult. Please also see my 2016 blog: I am lucky.

I need to express my gratitude towards my former girlfriend Soraya (2010-2014). Without her relentless efforts, I would never have started my writing.

You Say (2018) by Lauren Daigle

[Verse 1]
I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know
Ooh, oh

[Chorus]
You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don’t belong, oh, You say I am Yours
And I believe (I), oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe
