productivity

A year of privilege and luxury :

- making and consuming one's own : bread, ferments, apparel

- catching up on how AI is implemented in detail : fairly thorough foundations 

- catching up on physical conditioning on a nutrient by nutrient, muscle by muscle, basis : scratching the suface, the beginning of a long practice

- catching up on Malay language and politics : intermediate dives

curry puffs are due for adjustment

I suppose an entire product line awaits thoses who wish to hipsterise the Malaysian curry puff.

- standard pastry :
yam + garlic + shitake;
unripe banana + cilantro + chilli;
daikon + lemon + cinnamon;

- standard filling : you can mess up the pastry instead

timing of escalation

I've been for over twenty years in a stage of life where it remains more personally profitable to just ignore most other people and their aspirations. The privilege here is granted by my aquired ability to squish existential concerns to zero, biological anxiety close to zero, and thereby simply appreciate existence as it passes by.

At some point, if this keeps up, I may be forced to grow up to the next level and inconvenience myself with plebs as a variable means to the sole end of helping other people. The reasoning for this is pretty straightforward and well understood. The suboptimal operation of the Earth results simply from foolish, sometimes selfish but not always, allocations of capital. But the acquisition of capital is solely dependent on doing business with idiots who concern themselves with follies such as food, toys, relationships, and experiences.
