The Real Curriculum
A counterculture syllabus for modern agency.
The Real Curriculum is for thinkers, seekers, rebels and reformers who’ve outgrown the vanilla self-help echo chamber. This is a living archive of systems, essays, experiments, and AI exploration - built to help you decode your programming, reclaim your autonomy, and future-proof your identity.
Why I Built The Real Curriculum
The world didn’t teach me how to survive this future.
It taught me how to work, perform, and succeed within systems never built for me.
But it didn’t teach me how to protect my energy.
How to defend my identity.
How to navigate confusion.
How to rebuild my life after I burned it down.
I built The Real Curriculum because I needed something deeper than affirmations and a motivational speech with an upsell.
I needed truth. A mirror and a magnifying glass.
One to show me myself. The other to show me the small print I've been missing.
I needed basic explanations of what's actually happening in this world-on-fire.
To show me what systems I'm part of and which ones I want to remove myself from.
A window into the future. Not to predict, but to be prepared.
Frameworks that acknowledged ADHD without pathologising it.
Language for the in-between seasons; when nothing’s broken but nothing’s moving.
Space to ask the big questions without feeling like I was falling behind.
A space where I could be a realist, a technologist and a humanist.
This isn’t a curriculum for the ambitious. It’s for the awake.
For the people who feel the distortion in the air.
For the ones who know the world is changing faster than any institution can catch up.
For those who want the story to be told with ruthless clarity.
The Real Curriculum is my way of saying:
You’re not broken.
You’re not late.
You’re just in the void between who you were told to be… and who you’re about to become.
This is for the ones who crave clarity in chaos.
For the ones who want to design a life with soul, sovereignty, and strategy.
This is where we navigate the noise and remember what’s true.
With eyes wide open.
Like you, I’ve always had access to the blueprint.
The frameworks.
The habits.
The mindset.
The structure.
The systems.
I could write a book on how to change your life. I have.
But knowing what to do has never been the problem.
Doing it consistently?
That’s where the war begins.
And not because I’m undisciplined. Far from it.
I’m the most disciplined person I know.
Not because I lack motivation. I’m fuelled by it.
Not because I don’t care; I care so deeply I've built walls high enough to protect myself.
It’s because I’m human.
And sometimes being human means doing the most familiar thing, not the most effective thing.
It means working hard, but not always smart.
It means marching toward a vision that’s expired — because I haven’t had the courage or clarity to admit I’ve outgrown it.
And also because the world is unrecognisable.
It's in flames. Old blueprints don't work. Everyone's lying.
Leaders are scared and are hiding behind performative speculation.
Regulation won't (and can't) save us.
The Real Curriculum isn’t a motivational platform.
It’s not a hype machine or a productivity cult.
It’s a magnifying glass. A mirror. A wake-up call.
It’s what I wish I had when I first started spiralling.
Not because I didn’t have talent, but because I kept misplacing my clarity.
Not because I was lazy, but because I let old missions stay on autopilot.
And when that happens, no matter how driven you are, depression isn’t far behind.
This platform is for those who’ve always had the fire, but lost sight of the fuel.
It’s for those who know better, want better, and are ready to do better.
Not in a perfect, linear, predictable way…
But in a human, honest, exhausting, sometimes-fall-flat-and-then-get-back-up-again way.
It's for those who want to face the future even though it's in flames.
I built The Real Curriculum because I needed a way to get myself back on track, without burning myself out, losing my mind, or betraying who I am.
And with my eyes wide open.
Now I’m handing you those frameworks.
