Why are we so Slow to Adopt Fresh Ideas?
The “journey” of fresh ideas taken towards maturity in the human and natural sciences and why it may slow their adoption.
An idea is a living thing. It has a birth and a growth and an adulthood and a death. These “newborn” ideas are not often faced with excitement but are often faced with a challenging journey towards maturity. Why is it that the “fresh,” bearing the potential for such impact, sometimes encounters resistance within the very areas of knowledge it seeks to enrich?
Overthinking, Overanalysing
A tribute to Lateralus' spiral of freedom and growth.
Overthinking and overanalysing leads us to be hopelessly cautious when considering the motions and actions we take. When we expend more mental and emotional energy (into the spiritual world) than is productive, communication between the physical is weakened.
Silver Lining in the Ram Prices
Some thoughts on the recent price increases and shortages in hardware.
After the surge in GPU prices in the last couple years, it was also expected that RAM and SSD prices would follow. But what wasn’t expected was the hit to be this big, nearly doubling in some cases compared to 2025 for Q1 of 2026. These AI companies are continuously fueling their massive datacenters and as investment comes in, they will not stop.
Java and Education
Some thoughts on Java and how important good education and a good teacher is.
I had never properly learned how OOP worked or how the ideas behind it contributed to good code. I had never written humongous coding projects until recently (thanks to me being a competitive programmer). And in my head, I had this idea of Java is bad, and since Java == OOP, I was begrudging against this year’s module on Java—more preciely, programming practices and applications.
Some reflection on writing
Reflecting on how we should think about writing and some AI criticism.
Writing is awesome. It allows you to clear your mind, your thoughts, your ideas by forcing you to think about them properly and write about them, speak about them. Writing has been such an influential tool in dissemination over millenia that I think we must continue writing, maybe not to spread ideas, but for the sake of writing, for the sake of clarity. A written paragraph is the purest of thoughts.
