Meritocracy, Reasoning & the 90's

March 25, 2019

I have been under the weather for the past week. So rather than deep diving into a particular topic, I will share the topics I’m interested in and some art I’ve been working on. If you are interested in any of these topics, please share your thoughts in the comment section below or email me. I would love to hear your thoughts, learn a new perspective and have a worthwhile conversation.

-Meritocracy, Exclusivity, and how my education/upbringing relates

-Masculine Reasoning vs Feminine Feeling (Plato vs Holism)

-The Breakdown of Rational Thought

-90’s Feminism (girl power vs the bitch/”bad” mother)

-Houston’s Energy Industry, Deer Park and Chernobyl
