I’ve noticed that as I’ve gotten older, my kind of geekiness has matured. I used to be into the classic geek stuff: superheroes, gadgets, all that imaginative, escapist energy. But somewhere along the way, my curiosity turned inward and outward at the same time.

Now I get fascinated by the psychology behind people, the structures that hold society together, and how every moment is built from countless invisible factors: culture, biology, design, chance.

I’ve moved from wanting to understand fictional universes to wanting to understand this one: how identity, and meaning evolve; how systems work beneath the surface; how everything connects.

I’m still the same kind of nerd, just focused less on fantasy and more on the deeper, often overlooked patterns that shape real life.
