yes that is me, but my understanding of my life path is to actually pay less attention to hierarchies, where i work, what my "achievements" - which never resonated with me in the first place and even lost further value when i was unofficially pronounced medically "dead" from cancer with metasthases no treatment options 2,5 years ago - were, where do i come from. i am new here, a friend of mine mentioned this place as friendly and open-minded, because i wanted to share with others what i co-invented by accident or by fate. i find it interesting and maybe even transformative in many ways: from scientific to deeply cultural. it never occured to me that my bio would be of interest to anyone. i tried making jokes about my contributions, sparking interest that way. but maybe it might be interesting? I will add some bio and a link to a story in which i give my best to explain what i am doing here, how did i get here, and what is this weird thing i am doing.
best,
k.
- defrost 2y agoNo drama, I look at "green" accounts (your name will change colour after a while) and work out if they're here to engage or just here to market, scam, join an upvote brigade, etc. I wasn't so much suggest that you display your bio, more teasing out a human response and giving other HN users something to read who might o/wise rapidly skip over your comments & submissions without seeing anything to engage with. There's a broad range of people here, some enjoy a bit of fun and kookiness, some are serious about (say) fintech to the exclusion of all else. There's a math crowd that ranges from serious to surreal, you can find them in threads such (random recent math thread) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41962944 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41962944
- kwojno 2y agoThanks for the advice about the math thread! And a wise remark that I should be able to address as many people as I can. However, the drama thing… if you’ll find time to read that one text below, you’ll see that maybe it’s not a matter of choice. To drama or not to drama - that isn’t even a question! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZtiEvB79aohVhWE1vGdNCuamqwz4cCtu/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZtiEvB79aohVhWE1vGdNCuamqwz...
