Man2: Saw you on campus today! Are you going to school now?
Man1: Well, I’m not what you might call “officially enrolled.” But I am indeed going to classes!

Man1: I found that the whole registration, homework, grading paradigm wasn’t really serving my personal learning needs.
Man1: It’s really liberating, not having to worry about being tested on every dumb thing!
Man1: And it makes listening to lectures so much more interesting.
Man1: With hundreds of people in those lecture halls, they don’t mind one more dude in the back of the room.
Man1: Free education, sucka!

Man2: They let you just audit classes for free?
Man1: Not so much let me as don’t know I’m there.
Man1: Though if I fill too many more blue books with manifestos they may start to get an inkling.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
