35 years of circling a target
Today was all about conic sections. If it seems odd that I am spending time on elementary mathematics (certainly not pure, here), I guess it's just nice to be able to get to things after 35 years of "maybe I'll do it later".
Non-trivial diversification for risk-management :
1992-2000 : didn't rush into maths, just did what all the slowpokes around me were doing.
2001-2004 : strategic delay to understand macroscopic architecture of the history of all ideas. Accidentally discovered some microaesthetic things, but that's a secondary point.
2005-2023 : strategic delay to understand commerce and other shit that poor, dumb people do.
I must say, I aim to be equally balanced in STEM and anthropology. I won't say "humanities" as that's a thoroughly messy bag, and anthropology is much more precise. I suppose this career carries its own costs.
conversational coaching
/ today I was asked ... /
... if I am intentionally unpleasant to talk to.
/ ELI5 /
The conventional training for children is to teach them to ask :
"So-and-so, would you be interested in Z?"
Based on the response, to evaluate risk of further questions or propositions.
/ My extended response /
You are simply learning the API. I am certainly not intentionally pleasant to talk to, unless provided with clear incentives.
Perhaps you have been in a bubble of people who assume your protocol? Why would you assume that treating anyone else as a search engine is pleasant for them? Lol. Guessing games will lead you to a high failure rate. Gambling is not advised
/ What to do /
If you want to determine interest in conversation, simply say, "I am interested in a conversation at time x place y topic t for duration d" or such, then it is possible to receive an explicit response.
if x y t d : are not scoped to the convenience or prejudiced preference of the recipient (which you may determine via research) why would anyone presume the recipient would entertain the request 🤣??
