Lists of 30
400+ lists since around 2012. It's how I think.
It's how I analyze topics and think divergently. There's a list of 30 for everything.
That's the whole thesis.

I've written lists of 30 since around 2012. It's how I analyze topics and think divergently. A year-end review every year since 2008, two books so far, and a 30 under 30 I finished early.

Clem's Travels
I'm a nerdy Cooper Union electrical engineering grad who studied AI in Osaka and Hamburg. I used to code. I still do, but I used to as well. Now I build tools I actually use, and I've written about every phase of it since 2022.
