I’m Sayed Hamid Fatimi, a software developer by craft, a philosopher by calling, and a lifelong student of truth. With roots in physics and a love for clean, expressive code, I build in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Next.js—tools that let ideas take shape in the digital world. Beyond the syntax and structure lies a deeper pursuit. I write to explore the foundations of thought, reason, and reality. My books, The Philosophy of Reason and The Philosophy of Truth, are part of an ongoing journey—an attempt to weave clarity from complexity, and meaning from mystery. This space is where code meets contemplation. You’re welcome to walk the path with me at valeon.blog.

For new investors with modest means, building wealth is less about chasing quick wins and more about choosing the right tools — and avoiding their traps. This guide explores three key “vessels” for your financial journey: the mutual fund, the money market fund, and the index fund, including the “always up” nature of indices like the S&P 500, and how to use them wisely for long-term growth.

The Veil Thins

The veil between worlds grows thin—not by prophecy or permission, but by consequence. Those who follow the path it reveals do so at their peril, for what lies beyond is neither good nor evil, but something older, hungrier, and far less forgiving.

The Shepherd and The Sheeple

From the outside, American democracy looks less like a system of the people and more like a well-staged illusion. With Trump back in office and the machinery of power unchanged, the illusion of choice is fading. This piece explores the decline—not just of politics, but of belief itself.

2027: The Collapse That Wasn’t Televised

The Israeli state may not survive the decade — not by invasion, but by the slow collapse of legitimacy, narrative, and power. As Palestine rises and the world rebalances, we are not witnessing an apocalypse, but the unmasking of illusion.
