World Meets Aqeel
about me
two things:
i’m unencumbered
everything else in my life, experiences, thoughts, etc., all fulfill and reinforce this aforementioned truth
i’m still aspiring for states of pure presence, and the ultimate tests are doing so in any environment/condition in places where perceived stakes are high - just to test my own level of pushing maximally being engaged and disattached to the thereafter.
fan and forever student of:
neuroeconomics
anime
learning how to learn
i dabble in startup angel investments, options trading (Scalper) on the nasdaq, currently (9/2024 ~ today-ish, 2/ 2025) thoughts about egoic attachments, cognitive psychology and neuroeconomics. i’ve spent most of my day working with ai and ai tools since transitioning into full time studies, and job roles in the space since 2021.
Core parts of identity
Perpetual progression
high growth rates for personal growth and adaptation ability, hyper optimizing for leverage accumulation and stack-ability in learning / adapting to things
ABOUT ME
I’m an unencumbered writer. Everything else in life simply provides fodder for that.
i like building ai tools and leveraging ai tech for improvements to day to day life
My hobbies are: MMA, multimedia art, cognitive science and neuroeconomics, cathartic and immersive sports, indulging my cat-level auspicious curiosity (I have probably around 4 lives left).
i herd black sheep’s around sf bay area from time to time
Perhaps it’s being an infj, a pisces, a first gen immigrant from the island of Fiji … but somewhere along the way I picked up an absolute admiration and fascination with people and my attempts to understand them - asking “why this” and “why that” in my infancy. This has lead me to my fascination and personal devotion to the field of neuroeconomics, finding a hobby out of the psychology of markets and user behavior / value recognition of technology, and a thrill in my own custom ways of combining all the gadgets and software tools I keep around.
for a very long time, i’ve been attracted to bridging the gap between ideation and implementation and unlocking more human capabilities.
i romanticize residing by peaceful (low stimulus) water-facing modern, aeshetic interiors that is high stimulus adjacent - city/urban.

You look for the logic to understand the world, I study the bias that runs it.
Writing Style and Narrative Approach
My writing sits at the intersection of storytelling and infotainment, aiming to trench the reader in a narrative that is both entertaining and insightful. It’s declarative because, at the end of the day, this space—this little piece of internet real estate—is mine.
Think of it like this:
Entertainment first, then pivot to information.
A blend of narrative depth with practical takeaways.
No fluff, no filler—just straight talk wrapped in narrative hooks.
This blog is my space. I pay for these pixels, and if you're here, you're in my world.
So, fuck you, get off my property.
Flag. Cigarette. Shotgun. With a head that says America on it.
