strong opinions, weakly held
Idea stolen from Devon Zuegel, this is a list of things that I believe…
- Eat the rich.
- There is no war but class war.
- Fuck ICE.
- Free Palestine.
- All “AI” is garbage.
- No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. - Socrates
- You don’t need to have an opinion on everything, as the internet encourages us to do. If your first instinct on learning a surface level fact is to react to it, try to pause and learn more first.
- Depend on skills, not tools. Learn how to do things, how to make things, so that when you don’t have perfect (or any) tools, you can still accomplish what you want or need to.
- Work can roughly be split into two categories: problem solving and rote execution. We currently live in a society where the former is lauded and seen as morally superior. Execution of repetitive tasks with excellence is missing from a lot of peoples lives and it would make all of us happier if we could split our lives between the two.
