I'm Khalid, I'm driven by a simple, if demanding, internal metric: the maker-to-taker ratio. Much of my time is spent trying to ensure that what I eventually contribute to the world outweighs what I've gathered from it.

I prefer looking at systems from the ground up, focusing on honest inquiry rather than conventional wisdom. It's less about having the right answers and more about a persistent, first-principles approach to understanding how things actually function.

My curiosity usually drifts toward the big picture - the patterns of history, the nature of reality, and the nuances of human behavior. I find the most interesting truths are often hidden at the intersection of these fields.

Ultimately, I'm a student of the long game. I prioritize clarity and substance over the immediate noise, with the quiet goal of being one of the many hands that helps assemble a better future.
