"Whatever drives attention, works and becomes only more entangled in the system, which deepens our sense of meaninglessness(...)" this explains neck-deep obsessions with the superficial— with social media. I am often finding myself in search of something interesting, enlightening. Sadly, I forget that the most humane, significant and valuable is what I create for myself. Whenever I finally get down and create something, that's when I feel fulfilled. Sadly, again, having created the world suited for fast-paced life, we robbed ourselves from things that teach us patience. Because yes, those are the things that we may perceived as "imperfect" (being done by real people), but the effort is what makes them so great (which any algorithm could never replace). it's important to remember that, most of the time, the most valuable thing we can do is spend time with ourselves, look inwards and create from just that. (really humane article! it feels good to read something, knowing just a tad bit about the person who created it)
Tim, I'm not kidding, this is peak. I do not know what it is myself, but I would call it a window into your mind.
What makes it interesting is the simple fact of the way you articulate yourself. I want to explore the manner in which other people being forth their thoughts and ideas. It is extremely satisfying to see the open resignation without trying to conseal the fact you so no know what to write — it is what makes the whole thing resonate and what makes you alpear even more likable.
The desire to go against the grain, while despising the very attempt to do so, is too relatable.
This is a very inspiring article. I feel motivated to do something similar soon. You might think it's pointless because there is no aim, but I disagree.
You’re obviously someone who is not interested in distracting themselves with pleasure. It’s amazing to see people love ideas and want to use them to help the world. Thanks for all your work.
i love when people discover this love for writing. since i started writing as a 7-year-old, writing is as natural to me as brushing my teeth, and i get so happy when other people find out what a rush it is to do this, even if it’s a bit later. you are still super young, though! i hope this continue being your favorite thing to do :)
I think the best things we come up with are done for nothing! Or for their own sake. It's like a play that we've taken seriously enough. Thinking about thinking is such a play for me. And from your text I sense the same spirit. It's not utilitarian and here lies its preciousness...
The urge to write is a form of torture, ať least for me. Something always sparks my curiosity, I start to research, start to integrate it into my already existing models, interpret it from the perspective I’m interested in, and then end up both excited and exhausted, hoping I’ll have no ideas for a few days lol. Thank you for an honest share.
There was a time when authors published one book a year, but now we try to publish even better content every week. It gets really exhausting for the human brain, especially since finding a niche that is truly untouched isn't easy either, writing own thoughts and feelings in the journal is the only I found to take the stuffs our of my head.
I feel this. I have worked with everything in me to write one book for the past 20 years. I have earned a masters and a doctorate to write one book. I have paid for classes on writing, pitched to 30+ literary agents, and take 1/4 million dollars on an education to write one book. I have at last joined social media and begun to work at building a platform to write one book. I have sacrificed so much of my life, energy, and time for a chance, a mere chance, to write one book to make the world a better place. And what do I have to show for it? An interesting life. Some wisdom. Some hard earned experience. Would I give it up for a normal life? No. But damn, it’s a hard road. Most recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to decentralize writing. The industry is owned by giants with massive gatekeepers. You have given me some hope I will get there yet. In the very least, I enjoy your work. Keep going. Writing is its own joy.
