The Novice is my notebook for thinking in public (¶1.1). Entries are posted occasionally and revised frequently. Most are interconnected. They're also numbered sequentially by category for easy reference and to help me track how my thinking evolves across time.
Where to Start
[Omnium] contains personal and practical reflections of all kinds. Start with 1.1 Noting as a practice, which explains why the site exists.
[Theory Notes] track my ongoing research in the human sciences. 2.3 The Democracy Wager contains a fun little thought experiment on a point I wish more liberals understood.
[Practice Notes] cover the traditions and exercises helping me find contentment. 3.1 The Unburdening Years shows where I started; 3.3 Winning Won't Make Us Happy explores what doesn't work. Expect more here in the coming weeks.
How to Follow
New notes arrive a few times per week. You can follow by email, subscribe via RSS, or receive updates on your preferred open platform.
Disclaimer
Entries are prone to mistakes, puns, malapropisms, and damnable half-truths. Few are useful or intelligent. The site's title explains all.
