Writing

Crafting Puzzles

I started typing with the familiar sounds of my eight-year-old son echoing from the next room. He was in full-blown playful mode, his mom not so gently trying to get him to brush his teeth.

Through the window

I used to view my apartment as a boundary, a place that defines the insideā€”a small, or not-so-small, internal space that separates me from the outside world. It was the place I loved to hate during the COVID period, yet also a space we reshaped in many ways to support a different way of living.

Cybernetics

Cybernetics could also be seen as an evolutionary theory for machines. There is no need for machines to represent the world in order to achieve an output or result; instead, the focus is on the adaptive nature of machines and systems. One has to set the rules and relationships between systems, and according to those rules, systems evolve in their own way, which of course, relates back to the initial point.

Knowledge knitting

Eric Hobsbawm's style of writing history, using self-contained essays that can stand alone outside the context of their book, perfectly showcases how art, music, technology, economy, traditions, and seemingly unrelated changes shape the evolution of societies.

Updated tooling

One of the most impressive things about human-machine studies and literature is how they reveal, in many profound ways, the inner workings of brain functions and what we like to call the thinking process.
