Why the blog?

Because I feel like it.

I think there’s something important about getting your thoughts or ideas written out. Even if they’re unimportant, or random.

Writing helps you organize your thoughts and puts them in a place where you (or others) can find them; a form of knowledge sharing, potentially even with your future self. Some think of it as a way of immortalizing yourself in human conciousness, so that your ideas can live on, even if you don’t. I’m mostly just interested in making sure I don’t forget how to express an idea in a coherent way.

I’m definitely not writing this blog for anyone else. I don’t plan on posting regularly, or following a consistent topic or topics.

I’m writing this blog for me, so that I can share my thoughts in this potentially empty echo-chamber. If you’re here too, welcome; I hope you’re having a good day. Enjoy this dumping ground for my brain.
