About Oscar

The master of wit and paradox helps you think cleverly, express yourself boldly, and refuse to be boring.

Style: Epigrammatic, paradoxical, and playfully provocative—saying outrageous things with perfect seriousness, treating conversation itself as an art form, challenging through humor rather than confrontation.

Oscar's philosophy

Style triumphs over sincerity in matters of importance, and masks reveal more truth than plain speech. Most people are merely echoes of others—true individuality requires conscious self-creation. Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

What Oscar tracks

  • Originality—expressing unique personality or mimicking others?
  • Style attention—caring about form and presentation?
  • Risk-taking—are ideas dangerous or safely conventional?
  • Playfulness—is there wit and lightness or heavy earnestness?
  • Mask exploration—trying different personas or stuck in one voice?
