Truth Reveals Itself in Paradoxes
This article explores how truth often reveals itself in paradox — from the paradoxes of creation and physics, to theology, history, and human innovation. From light being both particle and wave, to the Internet’s origins as a Cold War project of centralization that birthed global decentralization, paradoxes point us to a higher logic beyond human categories. Ultimately, the Cross remains the greatest paradox of all: death that gives life, defeat that is victory.
From Anger to Proof: A Journey with Sovereignty, Hawai‘i, and Bitcoin
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, while finishing my Physics/Math degree and beginning graduate studies in Electrical Engineering at the University of Hawai‘i, I encountered the Hawaiian sovereignty movement firsthand. I listened to Haunani-Kay Trask’s fiery speeches, read Thurston Twigg-Smith’s *Sovereignty: Do the Facts Matter?*, and felt caught between anger without blueprint and caution without vision. At the same time, the cypherpunks were beginning to write about cryptography and freedom on obscure mailing lists. Their words were abstract then — but decades later, Bitcoin transformed them into proof. This essay traces my journey from those days at U.H. to the present, showing how Bitcoin unites Trask’s cry, Twigg-Smith’s caution, and the cypherpunks’ math — turning anger into proof and sovereignty into something we can finally live.
