This "conversation with my past self" is IMHO one of the most valuable aspects of writing notes (in the margin, on sticky notes, etc.) Like you, I enjoy seeing what lens I was (over)using at that time, and what I thought of the va

Your comment will probably age well with time. I'll add that in this "information economy", we have few (if any) easy-to-learn-and-apply frameworks, analogous to notions of food groups, good vs bad fats, etc. Thus, not only a

I love this perspective, and feel the same way about not just music, but also programming -- why is the thrust on "STEM" so anchored in "so that they can grow up and have a programming-based career"? It's stimulatin

It's hard to tell whether you're being serious.... A single tweet is so incredibly bloated and inefficient for transmission through space, that it would not have any chance of arriving uncorrupted on the other side. "If you o
