Speed Without Tomorrow

Diagnostic · Analytical · Sharp

What does power look like when it moves faster than critique?

"Power now operates through speed, myth, and spectacle rather than coherent ideology. A political formation that moves faster than critique, saturating attention before resistance can form."

Power moves faster than you can think. This is the diagnosis.

Sufrimiento

Contemplative · Reflective · Slow

What does it mean to suffer — and how do we practice our way through?

"Dukkha is not simply suffering — it is the pervasive unsatisfactoriness that pervades conditioned existence. To see it clearly is not pessimism; it is the beginning of liberation."

Suffering is not the enemy. Resistance to it is.

The person

About

My life has been a tapestry woven across continents, cultures, and creative pursuits — and I've come to understand that the tension between them is not a problem to solve. It's the source.

The practice

For nearly two decades I've walked the path of Vipassana Buddhism. Not as ritual — as orientation. The practice shapes how I approach business, creativity, relationships, and everything I make. Stillness is not the absence of speed. It's what makes speed legible.

"Two cities, two books, sixty songs — one continuous attempt to pay attention."

The work

As a serial entrepreneur, I've launched ventures, learned from failures, celebrated successes, and built again. Each company has been an experiment in problem-solving — and in the discipline required to see something through.

I've published two books on Speedwo: Speed Without Tomorrow, a political-theoretical diagnosis of mythic acceleration, and Sufrimiento, a Buddhist-inflected meditation on suffering and collective practice. They were born from the same period, pulled in opposite directions.

The music

Sixty songs and counting. Music is my language for what prose can't reach — the textures of Chicago streets, the clave rhythms threading through Latin American sound, the particular silence of Medellín at 5am. Electronic, ambient, layered.

What matters

Animals. Kindness. Presence. Connection. Building things that outlast the moment. Living across cultures without losing specificity. The mountains north of Medellín. Beginner's mind.
