Banzo's sword and metric fixations
Are you a victim of your metrics? Are you constantly trying to better your metrics, just to feel frustrated and unaccomplished? I have been there, it is awful. In this post I present to you a set of principles that will help you use metrics to serve you and not the other way around.
Embrace your Complexity
It is so easy to underestimate us, humans. It is easy to see the negative impacts we have had in this world as a sign of lack or that there is something intrinsic evil in us. It is easy to fall for the existentialist trap of believing our lives to be ultimately meaningless. Sure, we...
Nutrition, Sex, and Priorities
Don’t get me wrong, you can still buy pre-made food, order food, whatever you like, just be intentional about it and don’t let convenience and value be your first priorities.

I have said it a thousand times when asked by people on what is my approach to nutrition, or when doing food presentations. But I have never given it a good and thorough characterization. Here’s how we fix that. A caveat: this will always be a work in progress. My purpose in life is to always keep learning. And learning will definitely make me question my own assumptions and change my point of view. This means you are just reading version 1.0 of my bias.
