Blogs, diaries and journals always made sense to me but they were never something I thought I would write, I suppose this has changed. The habit of note taking rigorously is something that scaled directly with the quality of work I was doing, though throughout years of taking them I have yet to find a concrete structure to the notes themselves, I imagine these writings will be similar. I think the notes are not very important at the end of the day, it is merely the act of having to take them where the value actually lies. The "overview"/"todo" note would be the only thing I ever kept or re-referred to beyond a task at hand, everything else served its purpose in the moment and that was enough.
But something much more important than the notes themselves is individual contemplation at every level, I don't think people take enough time to really think about each and every word they consume and how it relates to each and every word they have consumed, I am endlessly guilty of this myself. If I had to be less existential with my summary here, take notes as much as you can, try to calculate what and how you consume, and most importantly understand how you consume as you consume.
I am now painfully aware of how similar that sounds to how an LLM works, which is proof of the whole idea of writing here. You don't notice these things until you force yourself to put words down.
In trying to figure out what this site should be I noticed many people actually create personal websites beyond the link tree, which for some reason wasn't a thing I realized people did but I am gladly surprised. I am deeply enthusiastic about this idea. I want a formally beautiful connection within our society and the current internet we use is deeply broken, it's not that incredible content isn't being produced across platforms constantly around the world, but in layman's the amount of noise is causing everyone tinnitus. I can have hopes there is some grandiose steering that could take place but considering the platforms that are most popular were allowed to run so awry I doubt it, I already made a prototype to an all in one social media platform and the issue is always the same, the algorithm won't convert because the primal subversion will still win if not tuned to be as bad or worse.
Just as I write this I am becoming more euphoric with the concept of having to write these myself, I seriously think our society could benefit from a rescission to RSS and personal sites. The price to create and host a website is dramatically lower now, nearly free, and the idea that I spent days on this exact blog post rather than 10 seconds to think of a tweet speaks for itself. Though there are better alternatives to both YouTube and GitHub I appreciate them most for their open public stores of content, and I think these two along with the marketplaces that already exist have essentially finalized the structure we actually need. RSS already enabled a user to curate their own feed, which just leaves messengers with room to evolve.
I will try to fill these writings with quality of life improvements and a philosophy of what I believe and what I see the reality we live as, essentially a spew of what my human experience and its accumulation of awareness has led up to. I have many interests but if you are reading this you likely know I am particularly fond of technologies, I got in relatively young having built my first computer around the age of 10. When I was 14 I got a Raspberry Pi 3B that was definitely not used nearly as much as I had imagined but its general philosophy stuck with me, simple, modular, cheap. The MSRP of the Pi devices never matched what was aspired for in production but the idea that such a small, simple, cheap device could let anyone essentially do "anything" was inspiring to me.
To start, I think simplicity is key. It's defined throughout nature, it is what can be with what is, quite broad but that is I think literally the point. That itself is a lead to understand the frame of is, that of which can only be captured for a moment, but that moment is of course just a piece to the great complexity of everything that is.
I want to write about things everyone will be able to read, although I will also cater directly to my own niche of interests due to this in sorts being an autobiography of who I am and what I want to become. Despite much consumed towards contrast, I think full dedication towards these goals is reasonable for myself now. I had much time of reckoning to consummate this agenda, without fail, I always end up down the same path, so I should carry down it. The idea that I shouldn't stems from a deeply ancient evolutionary conundrum in itself, although that can be a later blog, as I have yet to complete those thoughts.
