To add to previous post where I talk about using Unix timestamps for all things related to when I want to give the following addendum.

I don't mean the security practice of using a hashing function to rehash content. I want to talk about the other meaning of the word. When some message gets repeated over and over again over time using slightly different wording to deliver it each retelling.

There seems to exist a force that creates, shapes, imagines and executes ideas. This creative force or force of creativity can seem to be very innocent, frolicking and playfully suggesting magnificent new heights to take your thoughts soaring out over the mediocrity that through osmosis fills your everyday existence.

Broken mirrors looking for reflections.

What if we could ask a photon of light that traveled for so long and reflected and refracted so many times to tell us whatever it saw? How wonderful would it be to be a single photon traveling the vast, dark expanse lighting it up wherever you go?

There was a time where the system of skill transferring was such that you would start out as an apprentice to learn the skill imposed upon you. You would be an apprentice to a master and through watching and consuming the information you would slowly learn the basics and the fundamentals and progress to more and more advanced stages until you are self a master taking on an apprentice.

There are two ways of writing in general; one with lots of emotion and invoking of feelings, one without those qualities.

It seems to me that, looking at the current situation that the world is in, a build up of positive energy can be wiped clean with a little bit of negativity. In general it costs energy to be positive, to create, to persevere, to be successful. It also seems that the build up of having a couple of good days followed by a neutral day with one small insignificant moment that was rooted in the negative plane can have a much bigger impact regardless of whatever happened before.

I was watching a podcast on the Joe Rogan Experience the other day featuring Elon Musk. He had an interesting point in which he said it is not so much about computer viruses today as it is something that can infect the mind.

The new Web 3.0 is based on the idea that everything has to be decentralised. This means that each individual holds the data so that no one is in control which makes the information on the whole and also data in general much more resilient. It is not that a body of people will hold bits of information and you need each to reassemble the original package, that would mean it is more fragile as you need more and more entities to participate. Anyone of them drops out for some reason and you have corrupted your data.

The vision I have for the future of the personal computer would be based on the utopian vision of the previous post and some cool design choices.
