portfolio of work

Sprint day 12 of 21. I reflect upon my portfolio. Most of my struggles in life are learning how to talk to machines **. Humans are too easy.

Figuring out how to talk to :

• - Malaysians in English : 1983-1989
• - Americans in English : 1991-1992
• - Malaysians in Chinese : 1990-1995
• - Abrahamic folks in English : 1983-1997
• -
• - STEM folks in English : 1992-2003
• - Academicians in English : 199x-2003
• - Commercial folks in English : 1997-2008
• - Foodies in English : 2008-2013
• -
• - Computers in (various) : 1994-_ **
• - Malaysians in Malay : 2024-_
• - Geopolitics folks in English : 2025-
• - Neuroanatomy folks in English : 2026-

I find the simplest way to organise my portfolio of work, is along the vector of counterparties which I want to communicate with. These counterparties are not objects of humanistic empathy, as it is not necessary to agree on a state of common empathy in order to have ( mechanistically ) meaningful conversations. Or they are tautologically objects of empathy, if empathy is broadly defined as having a model of your communication counterparty's own cognitive model.
