Closed for Easter/Pascha

I thought I would be able to keep up with writing during Lent, but the truth is that I wasn't able to. I will return after Holy Week.

For those of you participating in Lenten practices such as more prayer, more church, and more readings, we only have a few weeks left. May the fruits of your labor this year be remembered in the Heavenly Kingdom.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.

Amen.

Revival

Introduction It's been about two years since my last post. As expected in life, many things have changed over the course of two years. These changes first brought me to abandon the blog in the first place, but just like in all cycles, the blog will come back because the changes in life find its way back here. What's changed? The biggest changes in life since the last blog is that I became highly involved in nonprofit work, and have developed quickly as a leader in my local nonprofit community. I started my own nonprofit and sat on the board of a second at the same time throughout the past 2 years. This all happened while I'm still working my day job as a researcher. While that presents a full schedule, there was still enough time to engage in online antics during the moments when I was walking from A->B, on an elevator, or the occasional downtime periods. In those gaps, I was in charge of a couple of online Discord communities. How did this affect blogging? Firstly, it ...

On Living a Double Life

I think it's hit me over the past few days that I live a double life, professionally speaking. At Work I work at a government research facility as a biomedical researcher that's embedded into a clinic. Our system is like this because doctors who work in clinical resaerch are still doctors, and doctor's don't have time to understand all the nuances of conducting research. They're concerned with getting their question answered about whether something is going to be a better treatment or not than what's already out there. Because of the government aspect, as well as the structure of clinical clinical research. We have a very clear hierarchy in my workplace that can be described from top to bottom: Medical Doctors Lab Chiefs Nursing Chiefs Physician Assistants Nurse Practioners Nurses who coordinate studies Nurses who manage individual patient cases Non-chief scientists regardless of credentials (PhD, MS, BS/BA) In this sense, I'm at the bottom of this hierarc...

The Metaverse Primer by Jefferies Part 2: A Peculiar Economy

Introduction Continuing in our discussion over the fine piece of analysis that is the Metaverse Primer by Wall Street financial firm Jefferies, I wanted to take some time to highlight and discuss some of the more strange and peculiar aspects of what the metaverse economy will look like. In addition to our source material from last week’s Part 1 (link below), we’ll also add a video released by Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook) about Mark Zuckerberg’s (The Zucc) vision of what the metaverse will look like to him, and likely a siginificant portion of the future metaverse for whatever that will look like. Beginning with the Jefferies article before we move on to the video from the Zucc, we’ll slide into the first peculiarity below.

One of the strange things that authors of the Metaverse mention on ...
