NotesToSelf:

- there are things that you just have to do, and looking for their rationale or justification is your conscious decision to distract yourself from those very things

NotesToSelf:

- on 'sloth' (alas still agnostic... but maybe that is the problem)
archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.co…

"...it is everywhere, and no longer noticed."

"Sloth -- defiant sorrow in the face of God's good intentions"

"...in Luddite sorrow, despite technology's good intentions"
NotesToSelf:

I've been so caught up in the exhilaration which accompanies learning, inhabiting, gaining a novel perspective, that I've been naively identifying myself w/ them. Tranquility will result from something wholly different (?), but what?

NotesToSelf:

Resist the urge to stfu, 'stay in my lane', ruminate whether I come off as spewing pompous bull

Climb out

Is merely an imperative to knowledge, and whatever object it renders, sufficient for a human life, w/ all our (my) attendant seeking? If the object were to imply that we occupy an active role within it, would we willingly partake?

NotesToSelf:

My internal monologue and when I write *to myself* I am using the third person. "You need to do X", "you are coming up short in X". Stop. It's an excuse to dissociate from responsibility.

NotesToSelf:

From listening to mostly audiobooks to mostly podcasts has resulted in quite a drop in substantive learning/retention. Made the switch back and am happier/more productive for it.

Keep this forefront in mind when producing my own content. What would I appreciate?
