Maybe I'm decaying

Over the weekend I read a couple more articles about how we're circling the death drain of collapsing society. The rich people are prepping their bunkers and the intellectuals are marveling at how far we've managed to come in such a sort couple hundred years. Why, we've nearly destroyed ourselves! What an incredible feat! Cheerio good lads, we've hit our evolutionary peak!
|
Meanwhile I've all but quit thinking that I have anything to contribute to any nonsense of a conversation. I'm wondering what would happen to my brain if I just left it well enough alone. It's gotten dirty in there, and I'm thinking that it might actually be better to just let it fester and slowly decay while I move over to another habitation. Tell the landlord I was kidnapped, I won't be back in this little town.

Ahem. At least my imagination seems to be working. I just went somewhere else for a moment. Now what am I supposed to be doing?

Maybe I'm artificial

Robot being productive inside the machine, Digital Art I made with Dall-E

Perhaps playing with the AI image generator Dall-E, to which I got my invite to this week? Or perhaps I should start collecting links for the new season of the Tao of WAO podcast? It started raining.

All in all the week was fine, even if my brain is in a somewhat chaotic state. Work is picking up again after the slowness of August. Distracting myself from my existential angst is always a helpful endeavour. As a distraction, I spent loads of time banging my head on my keyboard because my hosting service made a teeny, tiny policy change. To wit - instead of spinning up new databases, they started adding DB schemas. This likely means nothing to many of you, but it was a real hassle to figure out wtf was happening with two of my DBs.
|
I also spent some time changing a 10 year old personal productivity process that I've been meaning to change for at least five years. Changing a personal productivity process means a break in productivity as you learn the new process and/or tool. Given that I already feel that I am not living up to my potential, this self-imposed slump in productivity has been difficult. But, change is good so...

Maybe I need help?

It would be nice, I think, if I had a switchboard I could use to fine tune things I'm feeling. Turn up focus and inspiration, turn down incredulity and cynicism. What's up with you?
