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.

DEVLOG 5: Exciting Times
Strong progress continues on the project. There’s also excitement of getting into the actual philosophy now.

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…

Devlog 0: Officially Beginning My Philosophy Project
Brief Background I’ve been dabbling in philosophy since 2000, but the genesis of this project of developing philosophy like a software lies in 2018 when I found myself in the deepest and darkest depression of my life. Like Descartes, I started by giving up on everything I believed and starting from absolute zero. But this…

Flexibility is in the Mind
In a previous post, I talked about how I’m addicted to making timetables and how I’ve always struggled to find the right balance between rigidity and flexibility in my routine. My solution to the problem was to step away from timetables and go with a loose routine where I plan every morning what I want…
