Meta: Today’s entry begins as a diary’s; recanting previous efforts, describing occupying thoughts and intentions, as sitting on this higher perch with the hope of gaining a more accurate perspective of these written fields.
- Why not begin where yesterday ended. I had been in the process of exploring the sensation of a mental switch whose activation I’ve come to associate with a higher level of will and consciousness. Yesterday I had approached the issue by characterising mind in a manner I hope will be useful for situating the focus, as best possibly comprehensible.
- I’ve used this space for note taking during auto-didactic studies, so far limited to journal-club stylised scientific readings. An obvious expansion to this (after simply doing more) is to add a field of study, most probably in philosophy. I am currently making headway in my readings on Reid, but it would also make sense to revisit personalities whose notes I have already “completed”. In doing so my hopes are (1) studious – I’d expect that after doing so, my understanding and memory of any subject matter will be improved; (2) intellectually creative – since this is medium is different (though I won’t hazard any attempt at predicting how it is different) I hope that it will allow and encourage a writing outcome that is more synthetic and less analytical-summaries,.
- This space is virtually infinite, implications to this include that there is an option to include/add as many sections as I desire to any piece of writing. These are but one option. Thus I can use something akin to the incorporation of regular features that I’ve been looking to establish (even though those intents were not focused on this place). I could begin something like that to consider and record their progress.
