About Asher Wolfstein

Hello, I’m Asher Wolfstein, and this is my personal blog. Here is some info about me: I am a mostly-gay married male in his forties living in Fort Collins, Colorado (USA), who happens to be an anthropomorphic wunk from the future. A wunk is a hybrid between a wolf and a skunk, and an anthropomorph is something that takes on human characteristics. As for the future, let’s say a little accidental time travel has left me with a very forward-looking perspective.

In my adult travels over the last two decades, I’ve learned that the most important thing you can do is to be true to yourself. That’s what I strive for in everything I do. Anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues do not always make it easy, but I don’t give up! Every day is an opportunity to do what I need to do.

I tend to define myself as a philosophical and entrepreneurial artist-programmer interested in game development, language, technology, and culture. I peruse technical textbooks, manga (漫画) / anime, science fiction, cookbooks, role-playing games, self-help, and anything unique or obscure. I play, write, design, and program computer games and study Japanese (日本語). Sometimes I put on elaborate costumes that afford me a more furry animal look for fun (and occasionally business). Overall, I subscribe to and act out a unique individualism where I never quite belong to any one group.

I hope this blog gives you some glimpse(s) into my inner world and encourages you to join me in my quests for actualization, be it my projects, musings, or mental health journey.

Twenty-Four Years Later: The Original Pursuits Society

Founded in 2000, The Clasheerian Order (TCO) was dedicated to empowering creative individuals and promoting 'Quality Art.' Its initially declared ambition was overshadowed as fostering art creation and appreciation and making individuals creative became its de facto goal due to resource constraints, eventually leading to the organization's unsustainability. Asher Wolfstein believes that despite the lack of technological aids like social media at the time, TCO's reach was a result of its members' passion. Learning from TCO's experience, Wolfstein, with Maus Merryjest, has founded the Original Pursuits Society (OPS) to sustainably empower creatives. They also established Original Pursuits LLC, with the "Be Gay. Do Crime." initiative to use profits for philanthropic support of creative endeavors, rejecting traditional profit investment models in favor of open-source development and knowledge democratization. This new venture welcomes active participation to drive its mission of supporting individual creativity.

SCAM: Stained Glass Lamps

This is unimpressive, cheap, plastic bullshit.

Scammers On Instagram

I manage my mother's business Instagram. My mother is, if a son may say, quite a catch (I am inclined to imagine). Smart, classy, attractive, and youthful, she's the Mom who's got it going on. Well, because of that sometimes she's gets strange attention on Instagram and Facebook from, well, some interesting characters. It's also because it's a business, and that it's the internet, and that she's a woman on the internet, and because people generally suck. Well, yesterday, my mother's business got a bunch of likes on her pictures and a comment saying to check her messages. Well, lo and behold, we had Gerald. And what does Gerald have to say for himself? Well, folks, it's a wild ride... (mostly because of me).

Pegasus Intellectual Capital Solutions: “You’re A Pedophile!”

We've entered a brave new world folks. Cultural norms are changing, particularly online, and people are more emboldened than ever to spout whatever bizarre thing they think because they think there won't be any consequences. Unfortunately for them, echo chambers are entirely virtual, and reality has an annoying way of getting in the way. Today's subject is Pegasus Intellectual Capital Solutions, a "boutique investment firm" headed up by Charles Smith as the "Managing Partner." I get the impression that this used to be a reputable company that did reputable business for a while, and then something strange happened. It got infected with the conservative mind-virus going around. Just look at its business Twitter account.
