HeyJaredLook Ma, No Hands!
A blog about getting back up...over and over again. I've been working in Hollywood for 20 years at the intersection of creative and technology. The things I've seen & done could fill a book. But I decided to do a weekly blog instead.

There Is Nothing New Under The Sun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I write these usually a day or two before I post them. They are exercises in ideas that come throughout my week usually on my morning walks with the dog or during moments where I find time to just be with my thoughts. I apologize in advance if sometimes they feel a bit disjointed or not fully realized, though I do take the time to make a few edit passes before I hit “schedule to publish.” That said, I appreciate everyone who’s been with me on this journey whether you’ve just joined or you’ve bee
The Great Cultural Flattening (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s strange to think about a time before memes. I remember the internet era where the concept of “going viral” was non-existent. Back then it was a place to find information and connect with like-minded people via chatrooms, message boards or online group text adventures like MUDs. The internet was this incredible frontier that held what felt like infinite possibilities. Now it’s dying at the hands of meaningless talking heads sitting in cars reading from the same scripts yammering on about mak
The Calculus of Being and the AI Fallacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I didn’t do very well in my high school calculus class senior year, barely passing with a mid-D. Math wasn’t my strongest subject but it also wasn’t that much of a disaster. The previous year I had received A’s in trigonometry and advanced mathematics. Yet calculus really didn’t make much sense to me which I blame partially on our teacher. When an educator makes no attempt to give any “why” regarding the subject and instead rests on their laurels of tenure, it is a recipe for scholastic disaster
Beauty and the Eye of the Beholder (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Beauty has been debated since humans have had eyes and a mouth to express an opinion. It’s a strange debate to be had as this idea of what is aesthetically pleasing changes from person to person and era to era. With regards to fashion, our current era is shifting back towards a “heroin chic” look that dominated fashion the ‘90s. Recently we had a whole movement towards the curves that the Kardashians brought in during the mid 2010s. As the entertainment industry always attempts to define beauty
Deadpool: The Cancer or The Cure? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Growing up, Deadpool was my favorite character. I always dreamed of a movie where the “Merc with a Mouth” would go on a rampage taking out a clutch of baddies in all sorts of hilarious and ultra-violent ways. Flash forward to 2016 and I got my childhood wish! What a glorious film it was, filled with all the insanity of the early ‘90’s comics created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza. Liefeld often said that Deadpool was this hybrid of Spider-Man and the Punisher and as a kid who loved both Marve
