Review of Studies, first 525 days of Sabbatical 2

Housekeeping. Review of the last 525 days in the context of the last 15k days. Today is 4 September 2024.


I've been alive for less than fifteen thousand days, a drop in the ocean, or an atom in the drop. 


1. 
The domain of my primary studies :


- the comprehension of how human cognition can be modelled, such that it delineates the relationships between meat, language, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and so on and so forth to the fuzzier languages of various social spheres


- the comprehension of individuals, their motivations, instincts, coping mechanisms, herding tendencies, body language, adherence to ritual, cultural tendencies, fears, and excitations; broadly how their experiences as subjects can be quantified from their own perspectives ( thought not many try, I maintain it is achievable if one tries carefully ) ; how to negotiate with them ; how to change them ; clearly a BIASED perspective ; everyone thinks they understand what it means to be human in general, though everyone is ever only one human ; generally I don't spend enough time empathising with commoners, so I often forget why they are so terrified or excited always


2.
The domain of my secondary studies :


- the comprehension of information technology, its architectures, tendencies, trends, its modes of creation, passage and destruction


- the comprehension of gross commerce and sundry, the materials of built environments, tools for living, food, and fashion, the administration of governments, methods of locomotion


3.
The domain of my tertiary studies :


- the comprehension of physical conditioning at a biochemical resolution


- the comprehension of finance at a global macroeconomic resolution


So,


... broadly in my program of study, from the ages of 40 to 50, I am seeking to promote some of my tertiary skillsets to a secondary level ( more important  ), and to promote some of my secondary skill sets to a primary level ( less important ).


These days, my anxieties stem from juggling the piorities of what to work on first, in any hour, on any day. Some of it is market driven, of course. 


The only reason to study information technology, for example, is to implement models of language and cognition for further research and development.  ( I lie - it is also because in commerce, information technologists are difficult to govern, unless you are literate in information technology. )


The only reason to study gross commerce and sundry is for operational security.


The only reason to study physical conditioning, for example, is for opsec, and maybe occasional philandering.


The only reason to study global macro, for example, is to be able to manage money, which I am not very good at.
