0x0490, etc…

this is going to be a series of writings to give myself a space to learn, grow, and challenge my own assumptions. i am not going into this with any pre-set agenda or defined goals. really. i have been wanting to write more for a while, now, so here i am, writing more.

i may be right, at times, and i may be wrong. ultimately, it is not about right nor wrong, but rather about the process of learning. if, somehow, someone is reading this, then welcome to my journey.

i have gone through many journeys in life, and the hardest ones have been, by far and away, the most rewarding. i hope this is hard, as well. simply sitting down to write, when this is not something i otherwise do, is hard enough itself. challenging myself to research an area, question what i think i know, and make myself prove how much i actually do know is going to be very difficult. i welcome you, no one, to my solo challenge.

so, if i expect no one will ever read these, why publish them?

because someone might. and if someone might, then i must write like someone will. i have no need nor intention of hiding behind privacy for this journey. in fact, i expect a far better outcome by taking these steps in (pseudo) public. of course, i have not gone so far as to attach my name to these, but that does not mean i am not attaching my identity to the words i write.

through the paragraphs i publish, i am making a part of myself known. one detached from the present day need to satiate the image that comes with a name, that backs a reputation.

an identity can live and breathe without a name, so no name shall be sloppily slathered across these writings.

but, what are these writings about, anyway?

i don’t know. that’s the honest truth, but at the same time i don’t care. here is what i like: technology and futurism, but consequently, history. unblemished nature and carefully curated urbanism. people, but also quiet time… alone.

above all, i aim to begin this journey from a singular starting point: i know nothing.
