DEVLOG 4: Trimming the Fat from the Kernel
Since the last devlog, there’s been significant progress—not just in the structure of my philosophical system, but also in how I’ve begun applying it to my own life. It started with a core question: What does it mean to live a meaningful life? I found myself challenging the traditional pursuit of “success” and realized that…

A Simple Introduction to My Project
I’ve tried to explain what I’m doing on the Home page and the Start Here page. But I realize now that it still might be confusing to a new visitor: What exactly is this project? As Einstein (supposedly) said, “If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” Every time I try…

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.
