In 2020, I had a brief moment of being uncharacteristically frank about what was going on in my head. Re-reading that blog post now, 5 years later, and think I really ought to write a response to it. Some of it is overly harsh on myself. But a lot of it is really unexpectedly self-aware.

Have to do an essay proposal by Wednesday. I've just figured out what my (vague but provocative) question is going to be. Need to blag my way through a list of supporting literature.

Does anyone have any ideas for a blog platform? I've tried Medium, I've tried Substack, neither really seems to work for me. Medium feels too slapdash, and I don't like the permanency of Substack.

The only use of AI on social media platforms that I think would actually be beneficial is in content filtering, and I do hope that becomes a feature at some point.
