I have an idea for a science fiction novel I’d like to write. It’s based on the idea that scientists developed a time machine, but because the scientists’ understanding of time was flawed, the time machine didn’t work as intended. Instead of going to a different time, the time machine stayed in the same place and dragged the present back with it into the past, effectively “folding” time.

Technological fields such as immunotherapy, big data, machine learning, nanotechnology, robotics, virtual/augmented reality, genetic engineering, quantum computing, and autonomous driving are experiencing rapid change. I’d like to learn more about each of these cutting edge technologies and share my findings.

I’d like to write a cookbook with a recipe from each culinary culture in the world. Instead of dividing the world’s cuisines by country, I want to divide them by region and culture. That way, the cuisines from different cultures can be properly distinguished from each other, even if they are from neighboring regions.

I want to reduce classic dishes down to the most barebones ingredients. Once you do that, you can create simple dishes with the finest ingredients. By cooking with minimal ingredients, cooking becomes more fun and less of a pain.

Every civilization throughout history had their own legendary monsters, and the heroes who dared fight them. I’d like to write stories about these fictional epic battles, both as an exercise in writing fiction and also as an exercise in researching other cultures and their stories.

Most people read books and then make exactly zero changes to their life… What if we took 365 of the best books, read one summary each morning, and then made sure we implemented at least one takeaway from the summary, on that day? That’s the most efficient way I can think of for books to change your life.
