When you wait so long to post again, the UI has changed…
Doesn’t matter, though. New strategies are needed. Letting go of the need to make sense or satisfy any reader is the point here. This is where you can be more than imperfect, you can fucking suck. Just do it badly. This is the place, the temple of mediocrity. Salieri’s Sanctuary, where it’s okay to just be okay.
And it’s okay to not know what you want to talk about. There’s nothing really on my mind yet. The purpose of this thing is to find your way. You can sit here and talk all day about how it doesn’t matter that you don’t have a way forward yet. You can see the end and see the light and make it all up, fanciful garbage that seems like it was written by a poorly trained LLM.
You have your ideas though and you do have an easy way to work on your notes. You do know the power of spending a small amount of time on a long-term goal persistently, that single brick laid each day. As time slips by like nothing, the bricks add up and you soon have a structure. The structure encourages you and you can build more, you can see where it’s going more clearly and you can plan ahead. You feel that you have moved forward and you see the progress, you know where to go with it. It keeps you together and screams at the light when the sentences start falling apart, but it doesn’t matter because the point is to move forward.
That’s how we play this game. This is just the practice, the point is movement. The point is to keep typing. Will I be able to do this with a neural link? Maybe not. The tactile sensation is too important. Could a pianist play music with just their brain? The movement of the body is too connected with the sound, and it’s the same way with words appearing on the screen. That connection between you and the words is that important, it’s that crucial to bring the two together. It would be a good way for a character in a story to type, though.
