If we must coerce our sisters and brothers, it should be done with the utmost respect and reservation. Anything less is an insult to liberty.

These days, society is extremely polarized. From the naive libertarian views to the coercive, authoritarian stances, most people seem to be leaning towards the extremes.

What both sides have in common: they all usually speak in the name of freedom. Obviously, something is quite not right here.

As usually happens, in reality, things tend to be fuzzier than what many try to make them seem.

In Playing the Long Game, I write about my journey as a creator and my existentialist quest for doing the right thing. It’s part of my system to make sense of the world, get better at work and life, and become a better human.

From my personal lens, I’ll delve into topics as diverse as business, strategy, design, software development, marketing, education, health, philosophy, ethics, and any other thing that might prove relevant at some point.

No more than once a week, I’ll share what I’m working on and send you the best of what I find, learn, and build along the way.

I promise to keep it worthy of your attention.
