Don't Prioritise What to Learn

I’ve recently read not just one, but two different blog posts arguing for roughly the same thing. To summarise them; You have a finite amount of time to learn new things, and so you should not only focus that time toward learning things that actually matter, but you should also only try and learn things that are easy to learn. I fundamentally disagree with both of these two things, but think they are prevalent in “productivity” sphere, especially in those targeting people at the intersection between policy and technology, where I happen to find myself right now.

Land Value in the Digital Realm

Adam Smith divides the economic forces into three areas for, the profit obtained from labour, that from capital (or stock), and that obtained from land. The value extracted from land is here the natural resources of the earth, the sunshine and rain that lands there (allowing for agriculture), the timber that can be cut down, or the ore to be mined. But there is another value that can be obtained from the land.

Common lisp and Github workflows

Github has a functionality where the README file in a repository with the same name as your username will be displayed on your profile. Since I am a fan of the indieweb’s POSSE¹ practice, I’d like to use that space to advertise the writings on this website.
