My obsession with the future.

This is perhaps my proudest and most vulnerable video on my channel. I made it at a time when I felt lost about which career to pursue, yet filled with a deepening wonder about the world. The video captures my desperate attempt to be less naive about adulthood, with a nagging inner voice that constantly shouted ‘grow up already!’ even though I barely knew how.

At the same time, I was rereading Robert D. Kaplan’s 'Monsoon: The Indian Ocean and the Future of American Power', with its argument that the ocean is a center of competition over maritime routes and resources. I was struck that such global rivalries could endure across the most fluid parts of nature. It felt as though my awareness of the earth and my thoughts about the future were growing together, each feeding the other.
