On Abstractions
- Removed unnecessary emojis in most, if not all, of the pages. I realize now that they only add clutter.
- New section in Site where I briefly discuss Typography.
- Added the dotfiles I used for the Old Computer Challenge last month.
- Added ten new entries and four new one-liners in Imbentori.
Copypasta humor about construction, one of the industries that directly opposes Life for various reasons:
Not all construction work is equally enjoyable. For example, enlarging a drilled hole is boring, but fastening pieces of metal together is riveting.
I’d like to think that I’m a laid back person with a generalist-at-best mental aptitude.
Abstract ideas always lure me in and, perhaps as a consequence, I almost always have an aversion to concrete things like… Most of Reality. I might have delved into kiddie solipsism when I was in preschool, the details of which I vaguely recall now, only the feeling.
That’s why I like broad abstractions like Math, Physics, and Post-structuralism, although it’s a shame that I never got around going deeper into any of it. Maybe in the future, I will. I’d like to learn still, after all, so there’s nothing stopping me, except bills to pay and food to obtain.
What’s weird is, I never enjoyed thinking about anything that much. Wait, let me rephrase: I can only allocate so much of my mental capacity at any one endeavor for a period of time. After that, I’ll have to do something else to recharge my interest. I do overthink about some things from time to time. But I’d rather delegate what I can to others, if it weren’t for the fact that I don’t want to bother people.
