This is my submission to this month's Indie Web Carnival theme hosted by Bix of slow.dog. It is a stream of consciousness triggered while reading Genius and Ink ; Virginia Woolf on How to Read (2019). There is something about her writing that just makes my brain click. At the same time, it makes it rather difficult to get through her writing since I have to stop to write myself. A possession of sorts. Who knows. I have come to notice that as of late, I find myself forming thoughts of a cer...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
I’m 48 years old. Sometimes it’s hard for me to believe that. By the time I was 8, I already knew God’s goodness.

As an aside, I empathise once again with people learning English as a second language. Why is it twelfth and not twelve-ty? This time last year Clara and I were celebrating finally buying our own apartment together. Fast forward to today, and I reconciled our twelfth mortgage payment and calculated our monthly offset in our budget spreadsheets. The anniversary came and went without us even noticing. I suppose those monthly payments just feel like rent now, though with building strata instead ...| Rubenerd

Hub notes and structure notes don't get a lot of attention in the zettelkasten discourse, especially in comparison to reference notes and main notes. This lack of airtime has led to misunderstandings about what hub and structure notes are, what their function is, and whether the terms can be used interchangeably (they can't). To clear things up, we'll look at what distinguishes these notes, as well as how they work together to help you find and develop ideas in your zettelkasten.| Writing by Bob Doto

We had a big early centralization, and a larger second centralization, and later lots of nostalgia, but it’s all so fractured now. What’s next for social media and our institutions?

A good product or service has to do more than just deliver value to a customer, it has to appeal to some deeper underlying desire that was put into our human nature to ensure our long-term survival. In fact, all successful products and product categories are fundamentally hacking evolution in this way. Let me demonstrate. The easiest place to start seeing this pattern is in simple consumer goods. The food industry makes us desire food of previously unheard-of caloric density. That’s hacking...|
Our society is grappling with the meaning of our fundamental rights in the present day: freedom of speech vs freedom of reach, the right to privacy in a world of social media, etc. You also hear calls for a new set of rights, beyond the set given to us by Enlightenment thinkers generations ago. These new rights are based on physical goods and services: the “right to housing”, the “right to health care”, etc. Rights to goods and services are a distinct entity from the rights that we kn...|

The original Blade Runner showed us that two replicants can fall in love. This makes sense, because a replicant is almost indistinguishable from a naturally-born human. Made with the same biological building blocks, they should have the capability for the same emotions as humans.

Can the human emotion of love exist between two suc...|
