Information

§ What?

This is the root to all of my sources of information.

§ Why?

I think our lives are fundamentally limited by your abilities to:

  1. experience a variety of sights, sounds, sensations, and ideas
  2. integrate those experiences into a meaningful narrative

The implication is that neither an eventful life nor a contemplated life is sufficient: You need both!

If you can’t experience something directly, or lack the mental frameworks to integrate your experiences, the best way to gain these experiences and abilities is vicariously, through experiences and wisdoms gleaned from other people.

So, it’s important to have a diverse, active, and healthy spring of information at your fingertips, for those moments when time is abundant but your options for using it are limited.

§ Information sources

These are the sources I use for integrating information into my narrative. If you know of any high quality resources within these categories, I’d love to hear about them
