Writing

In progress

• If you're so smart, why aren't you...

  Intelligence is best used for outcomes not explainations

• And suddenly a worldview

  An attempt at describing my worldview via primitives

• Reflections on restarting a blog

  Why it failed last time and what I will do differently

• The most interesting kinds of problems

  This is what I spend my time thinking about

• The shape of happiness

  There's some predictable structure to our mental state

• What seperates heroes from villains

  One-line description

• A condensed (but still very long) partial retelling of some of my life

  The title says most of it, the post says more

• Abstractions and experiments

  A model is a compression of reality — powerful because it's lossy, dangerous for exactly the same reason. The corrective is experiment.

• Ant-ageism in knowledge — is timeless better?

  The utility of information is contextual, time plays a massive role

• The title is static

  My current description

• The folly of fragementation

  Dissent and disagreement have their place, but also limits, in sense-making

• The right tool for the job

  Science, myth, and contemplation each speak to a different part of us — and only together do they make us whole.

• The design of this blog and other philosophical musings

  Why this colour/font/layout and more dorky reference

2026

• AI is wild, but hasn't changed my model of the world

  An attempt to give a semi-sensible opinion amongst the hype

• The Posture of Thought

  The mental posture (or stance) we take dictates the outcomes we get

• Surface and substance (or why nerds are worse than jocks)

  What I've learned about superficiality and what really constitutes egotism

• Networking is a dirty word, but it's important

  What I think networking actually is and how to do it well

• Help! I'm stuck at a local maximum

  What I noticed and how I plan to have more agency over my life
