Some Reasons for God
After 20 years of (rabid) atheism, I've decided that opposition to religion is incorrect and that we must believe in God.
I'm an engineer by training, an entrepreneur by vocation, an investor by accident, and a freedom maxi in spirit.
I understand technology from the silicon up! After studying electrical engineering, I started multiple software businesses, several of which are still operating to this day.
In a past life, I co-founded Dr. Bill, which became Canada's largest medical billing service and was acquired by Canada's largest bank in 2019. I have launched multiple niche software businesses by partnering with industry experts (from universities to social media influencers) and understanding their pain points and opportunities.
Outside of business, I feed my curiosity by hosting a podcast where we explore books and ideas poised to alter perceptions of the world. Our discussions range from evolution and human genetics to the anthropological insights of David Graeber.

After 20 years of (rabid) atheism, I have decided that atheism and opposition to religion are incorrect, and we should return to worshipping God and taking up religious practice. It's hard to articulate how I arrived at this conclusion because I got to a point where it seemed like every element of my life – personal, romantic, political, social, professional – suddenly pointed in one direction. I'm trying to write a piece to outline how it happened. It's seven thousand words and counting. I hope to publish it soon. Today I want to talk about one small discovery as a result of this transformation.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to make this observation, but I have not seen this published anywhere else.
This is a continuation of my notes on Hans Hermann Hoppe's Democracy: The God That Failed. For part 1, see here.
As part of my interest in exploring ideas that might help us shift our model of governance toward something that is more aligned with civilization, human flourishing, and freedom, I'm currently reading Hans-Hermann Hoppe's Democracy: The God that Failed.
