DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

I think too much about things most people ignore

Why do some businesses become cults while others fail? What makes a decision "good" when you can't know the outcome? How do you build wealth without becoming its servant? These are the questions I can't stop exploring.

THE SHORT VERSION

I'm Jevan

24 years old. Based in Australia. Studied finance because I thought it would teach me how money works (it didn't, really). Now I read obsessively, write when I have something to say, and try to build things that matter. I'm probably wrong about half of what I believe, but I'm working on figuring out which half.
