In Which a Train of Thought is Kept Longer than it usually is... A short comment on the Nature of Work as well

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Tell me, how are you? How is the weather? For me, it is the coldest it has been in a year or so. 21 Celsius, and I must say, I love it. I want to enjoy every minute of it, it will likely not be as cold anytime soon. And I am okay, though again, a lot of mental turbulence due to specially loneliness. I am affected by trauma also, and I really prefer not to use such word, it risks raising the level of hyperbole, and devaluing the rest, but I have no other word for it, it is trauma, and it exhausts me, it is like a pike in my brain, I hate it, it hurts physically. Of course, when I write such vulnerable line, I risk attracting some bad thought by someone, that desires to analyze my every move. I don't like that. Instead, this is just about some sad events over the course of high school and hints of it after, with some bad interactions on social media. This is not to invite scrutiny over my ideals, they are my own in spite of the ...

In Which it was an Eventful week and more Aero writings

Good morning, my friend! Hope you are okay? Hope you had a good week! Do let me know, and happy Saturday! As for me, I am tired. Just hoping to get by, some moments proceed as such. At least I Could have a good conversation with my college course coordinator, it went quite productive! I am happy he clarified some things with me about my prospects. One step at a time. I do feel bad many times for now writing here as much as I should, but sometimes I just stare at the empty tab with fear, even. It is quite intimidating...



The year is just beginning, and yet we already have a huge happening, which is the immense revolts in Iran. After the disaster of 1979, when the country descended into Islamic rigid repression, with hostile words towards non-islamic people, towards America and Israel, all the very bad things that underwent on the country since, finally there is a chance there will be a reverse of what has proven to be a catastrophic error for humanity as a whole, the people of Iran cry for freedom, for a return of better times, and for the Shah to rule over the land once again. This is amazing to see. It has been, in the region of old Persia, a brutal set of decades, where once there was a perfectly reasonable, original east-west crossroads nation. I pray that Iran can become again a country with freedom: of choice, of religion, of commerce. I cannot help but to feel that perhaps my initial aprehension for 2026 is being slightly dissipated. The errors of the many evil socialist regimes in the world are finally coming back to fully bite at them. I do feel vindicated, and I feel joy in seeing many share of my positions. In a time of chaos in America, where the left is in retreat but not going down without showing their true colors and lashing as many times they think they must to, if not restore their power, to burn it all up. A time of chaos where the right also has its own woes and struggles within itself, it does feel that, inspite the exhaustion of so many moves happening all over the place, there is an upward trend. And it is the reason I would not classify 2025, as eventful as it was, as a bad year, not in any metric, but just a year with too much noise. 2026 is starting on same fashion.



Speaking of exhaustion, on the other hand, and I rhink I mentioned before, I am tired of seeing so much performance, poor cognitive capacity, specially in communication, and lack of emotional resolve all around on social media. Or rather, I am tired of what the algorithm pushes on me somedays, it is quite an inconsistent one, and thinking about such process is dreary. One could say I am tired of social media, that is not exactly it. I rely these days on such services in order to talk to my good pen pals that I am fond of. And I will give them all the credit, I don't think the lack of maturity and stupidity comes from them, no not at all, neither comes from me. I am not an example, but I am quite normal, and what I see the firebrands of the world pushing at me is bellow average in any metric. I see one account "owning" another account, God knows who's the real person and who is the bot, and if that makes a difference. At times, bots can be beneficial and helpful, while people can cause you immense harm. 

You know how much I love the free markets, capitalism, I love all that, and there is a lot to love on this amazing phenomenon, all facets exist in it, a whole universe, I love all of if. What I don't love is the permanent state of anxiety that social media induces someone towards, specially when it does not have to go this direction. I suppose it cannot be helped too much, but still is a bother. Makes me tired just by talking anout it, and in a time of the day where I desire not to be at sleep, but doing sometbing interesting, these very heavy eyes are a bother. In any case...

Finally, to wrap up this post, I did something excited to my computer: I brought Aero back into it. I have been quite taken by this model once again, and finally it occurred to me to ask AI if there would be any way I could restore a bit of that User Interface magic again. It turns out, you can! I got the appropriate softwares and tools for that, and I am quite pleased with thr final result! ChatGPT to the rescue once more! Too early to say, usually the evaluations come after, but I could be going through an Aero phase. Just fond of the aesthetic.

I think I have written enough for this post, but do not worry, I should return soon to share my quotidian, my thoughts and jdeas to yoh, dear reader, on this blog! I hope to do so before Wednesday of next week or so... thank you my friend! Wish you the best! Cheers!
