  • DEVLOG 6: A Temporary But Indefinite Pause in Development

    Announcement I got stuck about a month ago. The stuck-ness led to some expected negative emotions and thoughts but that was dealt with much greater ease than ever before. Eventually, I got un-stuck but it led to some big changes in how I live and how I wish to proceed with my philosophy project. I’ll…

  • DEVLOG 5: Exciting Times

    Strong progress continues on the project. There’s also excitement of getting into the actual philosophy now.

  • Devlog 2: Learning to Pace Myself

    Completed Tasks Lessons Learned I learned that I need to pace myself in developing this philosophy. There is so much I have already written and thought about that sometimes it makes me want to rush through it all. If I do that, it’ll come across like the ramblings of a mad man. (Even more than…

  • Why Nihilism?

    Heartbreak When I was 16 years old, I fell in love and got my heart broken. Teenagers deal with their first heartbreak in many ways but I chose to deal with it by diving into philosophy and asking myself some deep questions: What is love? What is life? Why am I alive? What am I…
