But a friend was getting married, and she loves rap.
So I had this random idea: what if I wrote a song based on their funny catchphrases and little everyday moments, turned it into a music video, and got some friends to perform it live at the wedding?
I started writing the lyrics, using all those little details that made the song feel like them.
With the help of AI, I turned those lyrics into an actual song, edited an MV, and somehow got my friends together to perform it live.
And we pulled it off! 😂
From a random idea to something real.
Still a little amazed that I actually made it happen.
That's what I love about creating something from 0 to 1. ✨

An essay and an original song about money, power, and the invisible economies of human survival.
From Wall Street to a Berlin shelter, every place has its own currency. Some transactions happen in money. Others happen in cigarettes, favours, access, or the quiet expectation that someone owes you something.
Drawing on the economic thinking of Maffeo Pantaleoni and the informal exchanges of everyday life, this essay examines the price of fairness, the rules people invent when official systems fall short, and the uncomfortable truth that even generosity can become a transaction.
The idea then moves into music, extending the essay's exploration of value, obligation, and survival into another form.
Two forms, one question: what is fairness worth when everyone has something to gain and something to lose?
