I Can't Change Hell, So I'm Trying to Build a Heaven

For nearly five years, I fought to fix what I believe is the gravest and most ignored humanitarian crisis in America: our criminal justice system.

I gave everything I had to that battle—my time, my intellect, my resources, my money, my hope. I tried to alleviate human suffering at its source.

I gathered evidence, created social media brands, submitted formal reports, amplified the voices of the silenced, and confronted those in power with truth and humanity.

But I’ve reached a conclusion that breaks my heart:

The system is too broken—and too stupid—to change.

It is a cesspool of institutionalized trauma, excessive sentencing, modern-day slavery, and mass incarceration. It thrives on misery. It extracts value from human suffering.

Even the good people within it—those who see the dysfunction and whisper about reform behind closed doors—seem to lack the power or will to shift it meaningfully. The rot is too deep. The incentives too perverse.

The cruelty too normalized.

Yes, change might come—but at a glacial pace, across generations. Meanwhile, people suffer. Lives are destroyed. Families are shattered. And the system trudges on, bloated and self-justifying.

I tried to change hell.

Now I know: I can’t.

Shifting from Resistance to Redesign

So I’m withdrawing my focus from the old world—and placing it squarely where I believe I can make the most impact:

I’m solely focusing on polymathy as a means to human flourishing now.

Polymathy—the integration of wide knowledge, cross-disciplinary thinking, and deep curiosity—isn’t just an intellectual pursuit. It’s a blueprint for liberation.

It’s about human potential.

It’s about collective wisdom.

It’s about applied imagination.

It’s about gathering the brightest and most benevolent minds across art, science, spirituality, governance, and technology and empowering them to design what’s next.

We Need a New Operating System for Humanity

With the rise of artificial intelligence, the stakes are higher than ever. We need polymathic humans to guide AI—not the other way around. We need holistic thinkers, bridge-builders, and system architects—people who see the whole, feel the pain, and still dare to dream.

That’s what I want now. That’s what I must do now.

I want to help build a world where:

• Every human’s basic needs are met

  
  

• Life is sacred

  
  

• Creativity and care are rewarded—not exploited

  
  

• Suffering is not ignored or monetized, but healed

  
  

• We create heaven on earth, by design—not by chance

  
  

Let the Old World Fall

The old world may collapse under the weight of its own corruption.

Let it.

We’ll be here, building what comes next.

To those still battling inside broken systems: I honor your grit and love.

To those ready to build something better: let’s convene. Let’s create. Let’s rise.

We can’t reform hell.

But we can replace it—with something luminous.
