    This is a series of discussions on Existential Realism — a framework that rethinks time, existence, and reality from the ground up. 
    At its core is a simple distinction: 
    The present alone exists — but the past and future are still real. 
    The past persists as traces, constraints, and records. 
    The future exists as structured possibilities, tendencies, and open directions. 
    This series develops that idea across multiple domains. 
    We examine why the block universe fails to account for becoming, how quantum physics may favor a present-centered ontology, and why relativity does not eliminate the present but reshapes it into a relative structure. 
    We move through entropy, causality, and the emergence of time — into biology, where organisms live in bounded temporal horizons, and into cognition, where time is both constructed and constrained. 
    We explore ethics grounded in the present, the role of agency in an open world, and formal logic systems that model these distinctions precisely. 
    Along the way, we confront competing views — presentism, eternalism, and various hybrid theories — not by dismissing them, but by placing them within a shared logical and conceptual space. 
    This is not a single argument, but a cumulative framework. 
    Each episode adds a piece: from physics to phenomenology, from formal logic to lived experience — all centered on one claim: 
    Reality is not a frozen totality, but an unfolding structure in which the present is the only point of existence.

    “The doctor can make the incision, but I’ll make the  decision.” — Shirley Temple Black“I have a streak of stubbornness and a loud voice.” — Rose Kushner“I believe that one must leave the world a better place than you found it.” — Evelyn Lauder 
     
    There was a time when women’s health was repressed and breast cancer wasn’t discussed, but Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder refused to be silenced. Their courage ignited a movement that changed the way society addresses breast cancer.When these “radical sisters” were diagnosed, they faced a medical world of myths, outdated protocols, and a shocking lack of research. Breast cancer awareness was absent, and treatment options were scarce. Yet, Shirley, Rose, and Evelyn—empowered by their diagnoses—became trailblazing advocates for breast cancer research, early detection, and women’s health. Their efforts opened the conversation and set the stage for a new era of breast cancer advocacy.Radical Sisters, researched by award-winning biographer Judith L. Pearson, chronicles their powerful journeys. Taking cues from the women’s health and AIDS movements, these inspirational women demanded a shift in how society viewed breast cancer: a cause worthy of public attention and action.More than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. They stand on the shoulders of these brave women, whose legacy has empowered generations to advocate for better healthcare, increased research, and greater awareness.

    I AM not amused - A Christian...

    Media Entertainment has taken over the western world and with every passing year it overtakes us with increasing voracity. As Christians, we have a duty to be salt and light in a waning world and that is where I AM Not Amused enters the picture. Two errors have arisen in the Christian world with regards to entertainment:Non-critical InvolvementTotal Separation 
    I AM Not Amused is about learning to balance being in the world, but not of the world. Throughout this book, we will learn how to weigh our involvement in pop culture against our call to be holy, using the popular arts as a springboard to reach lost people in the world. We also gain an understanding of what is at stake if we continue consuming Hollywood productions without thinking about the consequences. This book is a journey through the early days of media including the history of ratings, propaganda, and some of the legal matters impacting the entertainment industry as a whole. Finally we learn about the steps we should take to evaluate our own entertainment. 
    In brief summary, I first explain my purpose and motivation for writing this book as I journey through my adolescence in a media-saturated home. I talk about how music, movies, and video games shaped my life both for the better and the worse as I was raised in a home without boundaries. 
    The next two chapters examine whether or not media entertainment can actually impact us as we consume music, movies, and video games. Rather than take a usual Christian approach, we see what the artists and producers themselves say including quotes from Michael Greene, George Lucus, Marilyn Manson, and more. After examining how we can be impacted we see specifically what artists themselves say about the message behind the content they produce. This section does a deep dive into the messages behind Manson, George Harrison, and Insane Clown Posse among others. 
    After seeing what the entertainment industry produces, we tour through the Bible looking for what God’s Word has to say about media, our involvement, and our purpose. We start with a call to letting our minds dwell on holy things, then living out our life as a believer rather than a member of the world. Finally we address the two critical errors highlighting the benefits and pitfalls of each as we develop a plan to live better before God in our media-saturated times. 
    After a brief detour through the struggles of addiction including steps to overcome besetting sins, we provide steps for believers to incorporate into their lives to determine if certain forms of amusement are profitable for us to consume. 
    All together, this book is a guide to interacting with Media Entertainment for our amusement, and for our engagement with the world as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission.

    A few years ago, a picture of a cow entering a HDB lift in Yishun went viral. Many Singaporeans didn't understand that this was a Hindu ritual. Even fewer understood what the ritual was for. Rice Media's quest to find out for themselves led them to Durga and Rani, just 2 of the 60 cows that belong to the Viknesh Dairy Farm.
