starting fresh

over the years, the frequency that I use the phrase “I think” has decreased, steeply.

what I mean is that I usually find myself lacking the ideas to form, the words to say, and even the opinions to make.

a big part of that comes from constantly consuming social media content. I’ve just found out that my average screen time on my phone is more than 10h a day, and most of those hours are spent doom-scrolling through SNS (Facebook, Instagram, X), and watching YouTube videos.

another cause is the excessive usage of AIs. I’ve been absolutely abusing AIs for all sorts of tasks, from personal to professional, from a piece of cake to an impossible mission. They are so good and efficient (?), but they also take away from me the ability to be on my own.

so, in a slow moment where I was staring at my terminal waiting for Codex to finish my code, I decided that things need to change. I want to be able to think independently (again), to form ideas and opinions (again), instead of just grasping anything that reaches me via an algorithm.

and I think, what is better than writing a blog? A blog for myself, a blog that was born out of my boredom, where my thoughts can sit and rest. There will be no filter, no algorithm, no AI. Just opinionated takes.

that is how this blog was created. I really have no idea how long I would be able to keep it up, but it is a start, and that’s already a good thing, I guess?
