Big John Boyd deep dive! Started with the biography by Robert Coram, then read Frans Osinga's much more in-depth book. Would love to spend another ~50 hours on this, but had to deprioritise. Super super generative though.

Really great stuff re: refuting the mind-body split, embodiment, I am therefore I think (not the other way round), etc. Again, deprioritised for now, but will be returning for sure.

This is just robustly a habit now. I got on walks and talk to myself about what I've been learning (and sometimes I talk to ChatGPT/Gemini via my airpods to get quizzed as I walk. Great way to uncover things you don't understand.

Front-loaded learning Vim bindings for more pleasant (and fun!) writing experience. I now use Vim bindings in Obsidian and Visual Studio Code, like a nerd.
