I saw hundreds of destroyed Ukrainian homes today and spoke with people who lived through the hell of it. Amid the pain in their eyes and in their words, the beauty and power of the human spirit shines through. The things I saw and heard today will stay with me forever.

Met my robot brother in Kyiv. Always good to see family. Ukraine has some of the best engineers & tech minds in the world. Thanks to Roosh for having me.

It was great meeting a fellow Texan Tim Kennedy here in Ukraine. I'm inspired by his never-ending willingness to help people in need, even in the most dangerous situations.

I meditate on my mortality every day when I wake up. I imagine that this is the last day I get to live on this Earth, because one day it will be, and that day could be today. It helps bring clarity about what matters.

I'm grateful to be alive. Life is beautiful.

I love you all.

I went to the war front in Ukraine to feel the war directly and to listen to the people who are living through it. This experience gave me a deeper understanding of pain and love, and has strengthened my belief in the human spirit. I'll publish what I recorded in a few weeks.

I'm a very lucky human.

War is hell. I keep thinking about the cold ruthlessness of a rocket tearing through the air toward a building full of human beings who have only a few seconds left to live. That one rocket creates suffering and hatred in the hearts of thousands for many years to come.

I finally got around to watching UFC 276. Great fashion choice by Joe Rogan
