Most of what you believe, you never chose.
You absorbed it. From news, ads, algorithms, parents, friends. And from your own mind.
And because you never questioned it, it runs your life.
That’s why the first course is Skepticism.
Not cynicism. Not distrust. The skill of evaluating information before accepting it.
Day 12 of building The Hollow School. A platform to teach emotional skills through practice.
First course drops soon. Follow for the journey.

i like the fact that doing something different
Exactly. The goal is to teach emotional skills through practice.
Like learning a language by speaking it. You build the skill by using it.
What skill do you think people struggle to practice the most?
selling their craft, its a different thing to learn a skill and it is a different thing to market it effecively
True, Kendrick. Selling and marketing your work is hard. Your perspective on yourself, your tolerance for rejection, and your ability to stay steady when things don't work; those are all emotional skills that show up in how well you can sell.
We're taught what to think. Never how to evaluate what we're being told. That's the gap this course fills.

I believe scepticism is a skill that schools should be doubling down on as children grow up in this new age of AI everywhere. Onboard with you on this one Mauro!
Yes. Children should learn this early. But adults need it now. Your quality of life improves when you know how not to be led around. The best way is structured practice. The course launches soon, Jason. So anyone can go in and learn.

My Figma Makeathon entry: a "living" 3D portrait engineered via super prompts. I’ve created a tactile, parallax interface. It's a high-octane deep dive into AI-assisted personal branding—built entirely in Figma Make.

The Vision: Excellence Without Exhaustion
AetherFlow is not just another business operating system; it is a movement toward a more sustainable and empathetic future of work. Created under the banner of Meraki is Love, AetherFlow embodies the Greek concept of Meraki—putting your soul, creativity, and love into everything you do.
I created AetherFlow because I saw a recurring tragedy in the professional world: brilliant teams being hollowed out by "fragmented chaos." Traditional systems prioritize the "bottom line" while treating the human beings who generate that value as interchangeable line items.
The Result? Burnout, high turnover, and stagnant growth. The Solution? A platform that treats Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a critical operational metric.
