An homage to doing: http://kbrecordzz.com/2026/04/an-homage-to-doing/
Doing is what stops all the problems and gives you all the solutions. It's also the only thing you can ever spend your time on during your life, so choose your actions wisely. Choosing them wisely often means just doing something random to see what happens, and after enough times of doing that you'll be wise.

Want to study efficiently? #1. Studying isn't about getting a good grade, it's about learning. #2. Studying efficiently isn't about studying as much as possible, it's about learning in a way where everything sticks to existing knowledge, and taking one subject at a time to not be overwhelmed (because learning and then forgetting has no meaning). Learn less things, so you have energy to keep the spirit up every day.
Neocities is such a nice place. But I feel like I have an obligation to be less here and more at annoying sites where annoying people are (Reddit? Hacker News?), to weigh up the balance at those places. We can't just complain at the misinformation and bad vibes on those sites, we also have to do our part to fix it.

Sites like Reddit are where disoriented people ask for help, but the answers they get are from other disoriented people, because they are the only ones who want to be there at all. That's where we who know something should be to give better answers to the disoriented people (without getting caught up in the culture and becoming as disoriented as the rest over there).

I don't want plans, goals, ambitions, visions, etc. I want to wait for opportunities and ideas that feel right and just hop onto them. I want to be better at filtering out the right moments from the wrong ones, so I can more easily find the right ones. If these moments were trains, then in this metaphor I'd want to live near the trainstation (preferable a connection point where many trains meet, like in Hamburg)

To maybe explain the metaphor better: Normally people would like to get a faster train, or a better train. Or rush to the train to get on it. Or buy tickets in advance so you don't miss your schedule. But I just want to live near the train station and catch a train when the opportunity strikes.
this is really well articulated, i love how you talked about doing things naturally...i think i feel the same way. some things i dont need to "make an effort", i just do bc it feels natural. love your writeup
