There are way too many “dumb things” I spend too much time on (way out of proportion to their actual importance). I hope AI will nudge me away from finding them supremely interesting. I have extreme levels of breadth

Sadly, I often consume content as part of a “treadmill” that distracted my attention from higher-impact/more agentic things. It’s nice to know the hubs and spokes of these things, NOT nice to obsess with the climate of cities you don’t live in DAY after day

(i am trying to develop an interest in sparsity to regularize myself from these obsessions, which [along with several accidents], have done the most to hold me back from being at my best.
