The mention of a river reminds of me of those ol' words by Norman Maclean [1]: "Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement

I say nay. I used to have my own full name domain and the respective email address but I eventually came to the conclusion it’s not worth. Sure, it might give you "ownership" and a tad bit credibility but I don't care about t

Same. After moving all my email stuff onto Protonmail, I’m at the point where I may and would like to delete my entire Google account but it’s tied with Fi. I’ve been using Fi with my iPhone SE for close to three years now and it’s been a s

You should check out Watt's Psychotherapy, East and West (1961), it's a good read. Here's a half-baked thought: I always held the notion psychedelics help us, at least personally, come to the realization of "be in the

Would you say then an online persona doesn’t matter much? I think about this a bit as an undergraduate hoping to land a gig in a few years. I could care less about having a technical blog or a tailored Github/Gitlab account contributin

I'm not an expert on meditation but I have a few thoughts on it. There is meditation where you sit down, become aware of the breath, body scan, etc, and that's fine and dandy but I don't find that's necessary. Rather one

Yeah, same! I'm making my way through "The Book". Observations thus far: Other than fooling around with GatsbyJS, I've never had to work with dependencies - not sure if I'm a fan of this yet. The language is well or

I, too, am lucky to have found him a few years ago in my late teens. It feels like I’ve just been in an internal existential crisis these past few years and his words always keep me grounded. Along with Rilke’s and Camus’s.

Yikes. I’m thinking about how labels and identifications like these might harm us. As naive as it may sound, I think when you identify with something, you are constrained within that indentification, not aware you are really not that and th

From Kierkegaard's Works Of Love , pg. 103: "If you want to be well off and yet easily manage to become something, then forget God, never let yourself really become aware, never let it become really clear to you that it is he who

While I have never had a bad trip, I tend to argue that a bad trip is more likely to occur if you are in a unstable inner state and or your projection of the drug or the possible experience of using the drug is unstable. Then again, I think

I completely agree. I would even go on to add that what is held at high regard in culture is often, may I say always, not that great. What makes something great, regardless of what it is, is the state of your inner self - which might soun

I also think it's a good trade-off. Students should be wary though, no one wants to be stuck in a minimum wage job after graduation with loans. I also would add that students ought to take advantage of the resources available - meaning

No worries! It's a foolish mistake. I often don't know what I'm saying. I suppose what I was trying to say is that by manual labor, I like being outside, and by adding a philosophy major, I get to do work that doesn't al

That's pretty cool! Manual labor, personally, is appealing after a week of desk work in front of a computer - the sun, the frequent breeze, sweating, etc. It's one of the reasons I added philosophy as another major I'm pursin

I egotistically struggle with this, particularly because I'm an undergraduate. I can either be academically-oriented (engulfed in the courses I'm taking, partaking in TA-ing, clubs, etc), career-oriented (engulfed in building side
