Beginning
Sep 9, 2025
Let’s be clear from the start: This blog is not created to be read. It’s created to be written. It’s a playground, a training yard, a whetstone to sharpen a dull mind. A place of focus for a scrambling mind.
Readers are welcome even so, if the words they find here give some sort of meaning. I prefer human readers, though, and would like to avoid having my words ingested by machines. However, the theft of creative material for training computer programs to mass-produce content is currently unavoidable. It’s the newest form of exploitation of the masses, carried out to make the rich even richer. Artificial intelligence is a truly fascinating and powerful technology, but it should be created without violating the respect for humans.
The texts I will publish here are exploratory; they are the output of a person trying to find their voice. I will be truly happy if my words can make a positive difference, however small, for someone out there. But most likely I’m just sending my thoughts into the void. That is, however, enough. My main aim is to write the words, not to have them read.
Why, then, not just write in a private journal? Because the writing is different when it is shared. The possibility of discovery makes the stakes a tiny bit higher. It makes the process more focused, and, hopefully, the output better.
But isn’t there enough content online, with society suffering from a serious case of information overload? This concern is my biggest hurdle for publishing anything on the internet. I keep thinking that most of us should just keep quiet so the people with real insight can get through. After much consideration I decided that to satisfy my own need to express myself, I can live with adding a little bit of extra noise in a small corner of the web. Hopefully it won’t contribute to drown out something more important.
