Where to Start

As there are now a few hundred posts on this site I thought I’d provide some entry points to my writing.

• Note-taking: I wrote a post on a note-taking system called Zettelkasten, which got some attention on Hacker News. There’s also a follow-up post, and I might do another one soon (currently at ~335k words in there, in just over 3,000 “Zettel”).
• I’m currently working on a series on Revolutions. See that page for a summary of where it’s going.
• Before that, I started a thread on what is interesting, ambition, and the avant-garde. This is an series of reflections on how step-changes occur in nature and human culture. The plan is to connect it with the revolutions series.
• You might like to read about a silent Zoom meditation retreat I did in April 2020, or a five-day writing fast I did in November 2020.
