Hey. Hi. My name’s Jayson and I write online for three reasons.
1) Loneliness is killing too many of us, and I believe words can help us reach out and connect to one another.
2) Too much of the internet is dedicated to making YOU feel scared and paranoid and anxious, and I want to help reclaim the internet as a space of building and growth and Calm.
3) I love words and ideas, and they’re more fun when you’re sharing them with other people.

I write about books, pop science trends, pop culture detritus. But what I really write about is finding ways to stay calm, to be mindful, and to forge connections between people.
In my life I’ve been a lot of things: Writer, editor, teacher, filmmaker, actor, rapper, taiko drummer, etc.
These days I’m working on my first novel while I localize Japanese video games, lead seminars to help people communicate more effectively, and host a podcast about manga with my friends. It’s called Mangaroos. You can listen to it here: podcasts.apple.com/us/p… or here
I’d like to tag Taegan MacLean Balckwell and Matt Alt
