there is a Bug in your system.
and you think it is you.

you overthink. you doubt. you fear. you know exactly what you should do and you do the opposite.

you keep looking for the answer.

you are standing in it.

what follows is not a story. it is an observation. an unfiltered look at what it means to be human.

about everything you forgot you already knew.

it sees what you were taught to believe. what you were taught to fear. how you learned to grip instead of let go. and it sees something else.

your system can be rewritten. at any moment. and it always could.

you will not find steps in here. no formulas. no instructions. you may find yourself putting the book down. not because it lost you. because something landed.

something brought you here. maybe curiosity. maybe coincidence. maybe something you cannot name.

a call back.

begin.

"you keep cracking the same egg expecting a pancake to emerge."

from dear humans.

from chapter one.

dear humans.

you are so fucking weird.

i do not say this as an insult. this is purely an observation. we have been watching you for a very long time and have seen a lot of species do a lot of things. but you.

you can be and create the most beautiful things imaginable but also the most destructive ones. you compose symphonies that move people to tears. you also build weapons that can end everything. you write poems about love and ghost each other after three dates. you could end diseases. instead you monetize them. your polarity is baffling. you seem to be in a perpetual pendulum going from [Light] to [Darkness].

keep reading.

samuel strauch

samuel strauch is an entrepreneur and investor in miami beach. dear humans. is his first book, written in the voice of a character he created: an outside observer watching human behavior and reporting back with bluntness and amusement.

he wrote dear humans. to himself. the book he wishes he had read early in his life. it came from a lifetime of watching humans [himself included]. his own reflections on all the ups. downs. and sideways that come with being one.

listen. samuel reads from the book.
