Blog posts for December 2025

Something I did this year is I sat down with myself and in my JD note for every part of life I wrote down all “open questions” I have about the topic. Then I iterated through and made a secondary list of “all open questions that I don’t even know where to start with to answer.”

My policy for next year is to instant-buy any book that touches on two simultaneously and put it at the top of my reading list.

I had a good reading year in 2025, think I read something like ~50ish books and some were truly gigantic tomes. Proud of me because I think 2024 was my worst year on record with only ~3ish books read.

I admire your systematic approach to cultivating serendipity.

(This mentions post 22.00.0177 but confusingly isn’t referring to the post linked above! Which is actually post 22.00.0176 but was renamed after I pasted the link here. Discourse aggressively caches that preview you see and I’ve no idea how to refresh it.)
