Racial, Ethnic, Gender and Diversity Universities.
What should universities value more: diversity of identity or diversity of ideas? When campus protests erupt over controversial speakers, the clash between inclusion and free expression takes center stage. These competing visions for higher education are shaping not just classrooms, but the future of American society
Portugal vs Spain
Take on the Nations League final between Portugal and Spain. Nuno Mendes neutralising Lamine Yamal and Cristiano Ronaldo winning an international title at 40 years old.
Star Wars Celebration - Japan
Japan hosted the Star Wars in the greater Tokyo area (Chiba). We were blessed to not only be present, nor just film Hollywood celebs, but also to work with a very wonderful team. The costumes were cool, the vibe was contagious, the talents were graceful, the podcasts were insightful, and the team was full of rockstars.
Aikido vs Boxing
In my experience, aikido practitioners often take shots at boxing, while boxers rarely give aikido a second thought. Ultimately, if a martial art proves itself effective—whether it’s aikido, boxing, or jujitsu—it earns respect.
The Worth of the Human Fetus.
The political left and conservatives hold sharply opposing views on the value of fetal life, resulting in significant legal and ethical contradictions. These divisions prompt a fundamental question: Is the value of life determined by deeply held moral beliefs or by economic interests?
Middle East Conflict.
Debate over Israel and Palestine divides sharply along ideological lines in the U.S., with the left often viewing Israel as an expansionist state and the right emphasizing Israel’s security needs. Should Israel disarm and allow a Palestine controlled by Hamas to go on the offensive, or should Israel defend itself if it cannot reach a two-state agreement with a Palestine free from Hamas?
Greatest Threat to the World.
Views on climate change reflect a deep ideological divide.
For the left, climate change is the greatest existential threat, while conservatives see human evil and moral decline as more pressing dangers. Should society prioritize large scale environmental action—even at economic costs—or focus on practical stewardship and moral renewal?
American Exceptionalism.
There is a sharp divide between the left and conservatives when it comes to American exceptionalism. For those on the left, pride in America is often overshadowed by its historical wrongs, while conservatives view the nation as uniquely virtuous and a beacon of freedom.
PSG vs Inter Milan
5-0 Paris beats Inter in historical fashion. FIFA World Cup in America this month. But for now Party in Paris and board meeting in Milan.
God and Society.
The differences between the left and conservatives regarding the role of God and religion in America are significant. The left typically treats religion as a private matter, often restricting its influence in public spaces while embracing other belief-based movements in schools and society. In contrast, conservatives generally advocate for a society rooted in religious values, believing that faith provides an essential moral foundation, yet they also support the separation of church and state.

Interpretation of the Law 9: Free
Ignorance is bliss-until reality hits. I dodge a judicial bullet but only by 6 centimeters. If I was alone in Japan, I’d be in jail. If I was carrying the knife for recreational purposes, I’d be in jail. If there were no photos showing proof of my work, I’d be in jail. All these thoughts flood my mind as I ride a taxi back to the office.
Interpretation of the Law 8: Social Media
The mood shifts with the arrival of her superiors. My friend’s blue scarf-now wrapped around the infamous multitool-is placed on the table as the sergeant recites the strict rules about knives. As I sign forms and give my fingerprints, I find myself cornered into signing a document stating I gave them permission to search me. Just when I think it’s over, they start asking about my social media presence.
Interpretation of the Law 7: Flirting with the Law
Her mask can’t hide the blush spreading across her cheeks, and her eyes sparkle with the brilliance of a summer fireworks night, her smile slipping through before she looks away, caught between heart and duty. But duty quickly takes over when our moment is interrupted.
Interpretation of the Law 6: A Beautiful Cop
Our laughter draws uneasy glances from the silent guard, his presence a constant reminder of where I am and what’s at stake. Yet beneath the small talk and the scribbles on my hand, something unspoken lingers-a sense that this encounter is more than mere bureaucratic formality. It feels as if fate led me here for reasons neither of us can yet name. As distant voices echo outside the door, I can’t help but wonder what will happen next-and whether this unexpected connection is just the beginning.
