  • Evening physics

    Inertia. Inertia keeps me glued to my seat, back slouched in a cold lightless room barely visible, a glowing screen. Inertia is the endless moving up and down a piece of glass glass to nails too long, taps and silent scratches. I only wish to be better than one subject to such vacuuming.

    Today is Wednesday

    This new year of the moon brings forth a kind of ends-and-beginnings that go in medias res: in the middle of things where changes are all slow and sudden and still.

  • Augmented reality and the illusion of dependence

    I find it interesting how the ‘key takeaways’ in this article had been written: “Social media manipulates our reality by filtering what we are allowed (or not allowed) to see.” Louis Rosenberg, “Metaverse: Augmented reality inventor warns it could be far worse than social media.” BigThink.

    It reminds me of this seemingly paradoxical result when, as accounted in posts related to the topic, creatives who leave social media, despite initially having those applications as a space for inspiration, end up being more creative and able to produce more authentically artful works after leaving.

  • Let the small bad things happen

    Not only will this preserve your ability to resist distraction and concentrate, but you might even fulfill Arnold Bennett’s ambitious goal of experiencing, perhaps for the first time, what it means to live, and not just exist. Newport, Cal. Deep Work. (emphasis mine) Two things that I had long wanted to accomplish but only did…
