The Quest for Unified Philosophy
You followed the rules and won. But why do you feel like you lost?
I know what it's like. Because I lived it. My name is Mikis. And for 16 years, I played the game. Coming from the periphery, from neighborhoods the map ignores, I climbed the system alone. Worked. Sacrificed. Conquered. Reached the top 1% of income in Brazil. And at the top of the mountain, I discovered what no one tells you: The emptiness.
THE AWAKENING
I wasn't unhappy in the traditional sense. I had money. I had recognition. I had everything I was told to achieve. But I felt like I was living someone else's life. That I was playing a game whose prize no longer interested me.
And then I did what everyone calls madness: I dropped everything. The career. The stability. The certainties. Not to "find myself" on a beach in Thailand. But to build something real. A life with purpose, aligned with who I truly am.
THE JOURNEY
On March 26, 2025, I depart. A 2-year journey around the world. A philosophical and practical expedition to answer a single question: How to live a unified and purposeful life in a world that forces us into fragmentation? How to silence that inner emptiness that our society has normalized and desperately runs to fill?
And I will document everything. Live. Unfiltered. The mistakes. The successes. The discoveries. The falls. Because this journey is not about reaching a perfect destination. It is about learning to draw your own map.
THE METHOD
I won't give you ready-made answers. I will show you how I am building mine. My approach is based on three pillars:
The Methodology
My approach is based on three pillars corresponding to the 3 stages of true knowledge:
1. Deep Study (Process) Dive into original sources of philosophy, human psyche, and spirituality. It's not reading summaries on Instagram. It's going straight to the source. Processing raw knowledge. Because autonomy of thought begins with real knowledge.
2. Direct Experience (Reflect) Live the concepts in the flesh. Travel. Experiment. Test. It's not believing what someone said. It's confronting theory with reality. Because knowledge without experience is entertainment.
3. Radical Integration (Perceive) Unify what seems opposite. Reason and emotion. Science and spirit. East and West. Success and meaning. Because a unified life is not a perfect life. It is a whole life.
