10km Fartlek and Strategic Systems Thinking

Did a 10km fartlek run today under the heat of the sun and went on bigger strides for the fast runs. I can feel the spike of my testosterone at the end of the run.

While running, I was reflecting on the idea of Machiavellianism. I never heard of it before not until 2026 and for a few months now I kept seeing this on social media circles.

Turns out that Machiavellianism is a form of a political realism. No wonder why a lot of my perspective is the same with Machiavellianism but I don’t want to identify with this form of political philosophy.

I would say that my approach to the world is a multidisciplinary one and indeed it is a mix of political science, history, religion, psychology, social science, international relations, political realism, stoicism, Islam, game theory, theoretical computer science, algorithms, computational complexity theory, and intelligence analysis.

I will never be a Machiavellianist. The better description to my multidisciplinary approach to the world is Strategic Systems Thinking.

This site will hold short thoughts, daily observations, technical discoveries, project progress, and records that do not require a full article.
