The Tyranny of Too Much

KoinBlog, May 18, 2025April 4, 2025

No one would argue that having enough is a bad thing. It’s good to know where your next meal is coming from, to have a roof over your head, to live without constant worry over basic survival. In fact, for most of human history, people dreamed of abundance. More food,…

Gamifying Minimalism – The More You Lose, The More You Win

KoinBlog, May 17, 2025March 1, 2025

What if we made a game where the goal is not to accumulate, but to shed. Not to own, but to free oneself. Not to conquer, but to master the art of enough. In our lives driven by consumption, such a game might seem radical, even subversive. But, it is…

The Fine Art of Fairness and the Alchemy of Reciprocity

KoinBlog, May 14, 2025February 14, 2025

Somewhere between the first handshake and the last farewell, human beings have been bartering favors, swapping kindnesses, and engaging in an age-old ritual known as not being a jerk. This delicate repartée—this unwritten contract of fairness and reciprocity—has built civilizations, sustained friendships, and, on occasion, prevented certain relatives from being…

A Future That Feels Uncomfortably Present

KoinBlog, May 13, 2025April 3, 2025

When a novelization of a film is done well, it should feel like more than just a scene-by-scene transcription—it should deepen the themes, stretch the atmosphere, and give us something new to chew on. Elisabeth Hand’s 12 Monkeys, based on Terry Gilliam’s 1995 film, manages just that. It doesn’t just…

The Curse of a Good Idea

KoinBlog, May 9, 2025March 31, 2025

It is a peculiar habit of mankind to reject its benefactors, to stone its prophets, and to drive mad its visionaries. One might suppose that a good idea, like a well-planted seed, would take root wherever it falls. But the world is a field of salted earth, and the better…

The Floating Plank

KoinBlog, May 8, 2025March 31, 2025

Men have a peculiar way of fastening themselves to their own misery, of constructing their prisons and then bolting the doors from within. They will toil from sunup to sundown, breaking their backs over ledgers and lathes, pushing papers and pulling levers, all in the service of what they have…

The Tokenization of Time – Good or Bad

KoinBlog, May 7, 2025February 13, 2025

Time is an odd thing. We never have enough of it, and yet we waste it like fools. We sell it, we trade it, we give it away for free. Some people hoard it in boardrooms and vacation homes, while others bleed it out in factories and fields. The trouble…

“A Splendid Exchange” by William J. Bernstein

KoinBlog, May 6, 2025March 31, 2025

By now, the world of economic history has developed its own niche readership—enthusiasts who, rather than shrink in horror at words like “tariffs” and “mercantilism,” actually lean in. For those readers, A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World by William J. Bernstein delivers exactly what the title promises: a…

Economic downturns have historically led to significant social consequences in the United States. The Great Recession, for instance, resulted in substantial changes in income, wealth, and employment, affecting many lives.

Leadership is Inspiration, Not Declaration

KoinBlog, May 2, 2025March 30, 2025

Leadership is neither an imposition nor an entreaty; it is the silent force that compels without coercion. To lead is not to issue orders, nor is it to demand obedience, for obedience given out of fear or obligation is a fragile thing, dissolving the moment oversight is removed. True leadership…
