Hope they are worth reading.
I spent some time out of progress. No cars, no shoes, no city noises, no internet connection, no classical comfort, no ways to distract myself. I felt part of something natural, I felt peace. There was no rush to anywhere. I was just enjoying existing.
But then I had to put my shoes back on. I still remember the pain in my feet. They were protected, so I could not feel the ground and get hurt. At same time I sensed how tight they were.
The tech world is only for experienced minds. There is no more growth, you must have already grown up. What matters now is to train artificial neural networks, not biological. It would be a waste of time.
This market only wants your experience without giving any. There is no place for rookies. No one wants to master the art of shaping new minds anymore.
I have always been afraid of the unknown. It fuels negative thoughts, I feel uncomfortable and usually freezes me. In front of it I always felt small. Like having a giant blocking your path. Knowing makes me realize that the giant is only a shadow.
No exam is really difficult after studying. No place seems unreachable after one has been there. No city is hostile after settling in.
