Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.

- a way to receive money - a portfolio (Zapper) - your identity (ENS) - an access key (to discords and events) - a treasury account (for DAOs) - an investment club (by Syndicate) - your reputation (6529) - your verifiable track record (trading history) - an art collection (with NFTs) - an email/chat account (via…
You know when you see sketchbooks that belonged to people who sketched? They're wonderful to look bakc through. I am a person who draws, but much of my “sketch” work is done on the computer. I have a good chunk of files of things I’ve started or experimented with or copied to get a feel of, or something. I want to…
ahh this week i have been further using some AI text prompt to image generator tools in attempt to create an image that has a living quality. the cover image starts to show signs of life; the sphere eroding and green moss-like texture on the surface. the eroding texture bleeds up the image and begins to blur away due…
Everyone loves trees. Planting a tree is universally positive and wholesome. It invokes an image of care and nurture. Hands full of dirt, investing in the promise of a green, fruitful future. Add to this picture, a 2019 study published in Nature claiming that planting a trillion trees could capture a third of the…
We like to think of ourselves as rational decision-makers who are persuaded to accept arguments and ideas on the basis of logical merit. This is laughably divergent from how things really work. The idea itself that humans are rational decision-makers has no basis in empirical observation; it is just some wishful…
Never be stressful about relationships Even when the Grab driver is doing stupid things such as driving a bit to the front when you walk towards it - I don’t know what is his intentions but if I step forward and go forward and fight: it’s a waste of time. I will keep thinking about the negative points and I’ll be…
Venture capital has funded many of today's most successful tech companies ("Big Tech"). As those companies rapidly scaled, small harms that perhaps initiated as unknown risks, ballooned. I'm not going to list them all here because I would need way more than 300 words, but here's a selective subset: - online…
"Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something. There are no…
Os dias de atestado finalmente estão começando a render. Hoje consegui me manter acordada por mais tempo, tempo suficiente para ver dois documentários e começar uma série. Vi o documentário da Lizzo e o documentário sobre crianças trans, ambos na hbo. Também na plataforma, comecei landscapers, uma mini série que conta…
What is the mind? I don't know. But I know something that seems seems pretty central to it. That is the focus of attention. I've seen people debate over whether or not we really have a will that we control. I can sympathize with arguments on either side. In my experience, if we have control over anything, it's how we…
If one believes a certain proposition to be true for all times and for all places, the proposition can be said to be universally true. Conversely, if a proposition is only true for a particular time and place, the proposition may be true for other times and other places, but not necessarily so. Consider the…
Eu acho que me daria muito bem na Alemanha, pq gosto de encarar. Em SP, sinto que isso é mal visto. Há alguns dias comi no churrasqueto. Alcatra, arroz, fritas, suco de abacaxi, suco de limão, polenta frita, pãozinho com cebola em conserva e molhinho de cheiro verde com tomate. Não necessariamente nessa ordem. Tudo um…
O último gole de álcool que tomei foi na virada do ano. Prometi começar 2023 aderindo a um detox alcoólico, aqui chamado de "Dry January", campanha que muita gente abraça no começo do ano ao lado do "Veganuary", mas eu achei muita coisa para dar conta e só abracei a primeira. "Beber menos álcool" está sempre nas…
I woke up today with anger. I’m just so angry and so frustrated. Nelson told me about how he reacted to Pandu saying that your girlfriend is only not on your side, don’t talk. He was so upset then that I wasn’t on his side. And now he realises that he never thought about it from my side. That unless I saw the logic,…
Well, one spends a mind boggling amount of time on the internet. But what makes it worthy are a few worthwhile discoveries, like this place. Quite good to just pen down stuff without any baggage. Recently when I started writing poems which were just what I was observing, feeling and experiencing at the time and…
I think some way or other people are connected. they always stay connected maybe not physically maybe not socially and even not mentally but you just have the instinct in you that you miss this person but somehow you have this gut feeling of what they have been doing or if something serious takes place in their life.…
Starting a new business, or a tool, or a startup is considered an enormously good thing. And when you start something and shut it down after some time, you feel equal amount of sad. Why is shutting down considered bad when its the opposite when you stop for the right reasons.
Lately, I’ve been thinking: home is not a place, a country, or any physical location. Home is a feeling you get around people, people who always welcome you with a warm hug every time you see them and give you a tight hug every time you leave. While some people identify with their country or hometown, I identify with…
Creating is hard - so much harder than consuming. Sometimes I find myself trapped in a consumption hole, paralized by the amount of blood, sweat, and tears it takes to create. Consuming might be way easier and more stimulating in the short term. However, it is not fulfilling; it's a trap. Creating is hard, but it is…
It's that time of the year again. The one when folks from the US gather around turkey and a special meal to be thankful for what they have and count their blessings. I say it like that because even though I'm not from there and I don't celebrate those dates, I still keep the idea behind it to put it into practice with…
Really this is just a place where I am going to keep my notes about things I am currently learning/working on or have learned in the past. Maybe some code snippets (not that I know any language fully). I suspect this blog is going to be all over the place as I am going to try to write about what I know, what I am…
I miss reading. It's been a while. It's hard to find time to start, and hard to stop recalling other things now in the middle of it, once I do. I miss learning things, the traditional, institutional way, ha. As in, at school, with books and teachers and papers. The constant input and feedback, the focus on you, when…
I do not judge. I'm no saint and I've done my share of sins, hence I do not judge. I'm here to help in whatever way you need me to. I cannot tell you what is right or what is wrong or what you should do or what you should've done. I cannot tell you because I do not know myself. But I will do what you need me to do.…
No words can pin down what we call reality, but words too are real
I was born in the late 80s, which means I grew up playing Starcraft. For those of you not born in the 80s Starcraft is a computer game where you'd build little armies and conquer the map. There were the future humans called Terrans. There were fancy hi-tech aliens with their spaceships and laser beams called the…
It’s just decisions who make up who you are Waking up rather than staying on bed is not a choice someone ask you to do or “you didn’t have a choice” It’s how you decide to use your best knowledge for everything you do
There’s a new post about the art drama in the region: === anon6232 I got to say, Dr. Caleb’s presentation at the Arts Symposium was surprisingly good. He is good at what he does, and he is well-intentioned. No one in our zine has denied this. At Clan•Destinos we feel it’s our obligation to point out the blind spots of…
A nice lunch, cooking from scratch, having different dishes and trying new recipes, a couple years ago it would had been ordinary, but now with all the convenient meals that are premade and delivery services it just becomes a more special experience and feels rewarding. I want to try to cook more often, its healthy,…
I take things too personally. When someone tells me they don't like my photos, my brain says, "I'm such a bad photographer." When someone says, "Your outfit is so plain today," my brain says, "I have no style, I look ugly." When someone points out a pimple, my brain says, "I AM UGLY." Something happened today that…
i just discovered some poems i wrote a few years ago they are so good (remember how i said "people who can't write, write poetry"? lol i'm changing my tune now that i see myself as a fucking POET) Poetry is to bouldering as prose is to sport climbing: A great poet has the skills for prose, the only question is…
Acabei de ver um vídeo de uma senhorinha de 100 anos fazendo exercícios com a ajuda de um personal trainer. Coisa simples, levantar pesos, pegar e jogar a bola, levantar a perna com pesos no tornozelo. Coisa que muita gente com décadas a menos não consegue fazer. É isso, gente. Vamos fazer exercícios para ter…
Sometimes I wonder what kind of life we all are actually living, are we truly happy with ourselves right now or it just a façade to just get by. Sometimes I wonder what we are truly afraid of, is it fear of rejection, fear of alienation by our peers or fear of showing weakness, because for me being vulnerable with…
Good intentions. Plans and goals. Expectations. Reality. The struggle for me is accepting the intentions I have as good enough. I aim to be a good person, to be kind, to remain open, to be healthy and active. But so often, intention is met with opposition. Whether it’s internal or external, what I wish to do gets…
Well, not literally. What I mean is, the obsession brands had with a 'logo that pops', has now shifted to 'having a community'. With a logo, at least we were all on the same page about what it meant. With a brand community, it's essential to understand what it means and what you need in your brand before you can start…
it would have been cool. me & you, the chance at romance. i think you would like it. i wish -- just let me know.
Alternate title: Plan ahead to stand a chance against the monkey mind. The whole premise of this post is this. You're going to talk yourself out of many things that you need or have to do. For situations like that you should have a plan beforehand and systems in place. The most recent example I can give is me going to…
here i am, lying in bed, staring at my phone, because i can’t get back to sleep. usually, at this hour, 12:37 am, i’m awake. i stay up late because i have to give my daughter meds in her feeding tube while she sleeps in the hopes that they help her continue to sleep until the morning. but this night, my wife was kind…
(original: 2006 October 18) a quick acknowledgment of WHY i go to my h.s. reunion - louis = devil (as a term of endearment, of course) - i made a deal with louis at the 1st reunion (the 5 yr) - hence, i made a deal with the devil i do not back out on deals (most of the time) some of my memories from the 5 year reunion…
I've been running up against lots of large, intractable issues recently. The nature of work, the problems with capitalism, climate doom-erism, the absence of any kind of regulation on social platforms (or tech in general), my role in all this... All heavy stuff. It's exhausting. These are not things individuals can…
Pequei enquanto paulistana kk Não assisti a nenhum desfile aqui de São Paulo, mas, em minha defesa, eu estava empenhada em terminar um livro. No entanto, ontem eu consegui parar pra ver os desfiles da Sapucaí. Ver a homenagem a Lula foi tão lindo, pena que a globo fez uma cobertura medíocre e isentona. Aquilo é…
Before we get to answering this question, let's preface that by saying the media always blames social media companies for ruining our focus and attention span and giving us depression and anxiety. I think that's wrong. I believe we're doing it to ourselves because we followed our instincts of the need for dopamine.…
The real essence of understanding lies in the ability to listen without the hunger to judge or correct.....for judgment interrupts what listening can reveal.
Have you had a distant relative of yours who came to you and asked, 'Oh, you have changed so much,' only to realize later that you are not the person they thought you were? Apart from the personality changes we experience in our lives, which we often refer to as phases resulting from significant life events, the truth…
We quote Steve Jobs a lot on how we can connect the dots looking backward. To pick and choose parts we remember well to craft a narrative that we call our story, in a way that makes sense. Retrospective parenting is what I call consoling the kid who got hurt years ago. To make sense of the hurt that hasn't healed.…
1331 Just took a walk - no call yet. Bad news would have led to an immediate call, I suspect. Then again, may need time to absorb bad news first. All the worrying you do now won't affect what happens next. 1332
For some reason, I have been feeling like I want to do higher studies. My motivations for doing that are 3 fold: 1. I really enjoy student life and want to experience it again 2. I want to stay abroad for a couple of years to travel and experience life 3. I enjoy studying However, I need to find the right program for…
"Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words." - Arthur Brisbane, at the Syracuse Advertising Men's Club in 1911. You've heard this phrase as, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Pictures can be used to enhance the journal visually. When writing your thoughts, you must use words. It's not necessary to write long…
