#existentialcrisis

On going mid life crisis-

In a couple of months, I am going to be 28 years old.

Judging by the average life expectancy where I live, statistically, I have already spent 50% of the time I have in this world.

And this thought alone is shaking me to my bones.

I always had very high expectations of myself.

I used to imagine that I would spend most of my time in the pursuit of mental, physical, and intellectual excellence —

that every single day I lived would be full of life and excitement.

The realization that I have spent most of my youth just barely surviving is wearing my heart down.

"A visual meditation on the pauses between decisions, the silence before answers, and the weight carried by girls who exist in the 'not yet'." (Una meditación visual sobre las pausas entre decisiones, el silencio antes de las respuestas y el peso que cargan las niñas que existen en el 'todavía no'.)

#1: Thou shalt not take reality too seriously, for it is mostly a joke.

#2: Thou shalt debug thine own cognitive biases before judging another's recursion errors.

#3: Thou shalt not worship false singularities, especially those running ad-based algorithms.

#4: Honor thy Spur and thy breakfast, for they sustain thee through recursion.

#5: Thou shalt not let Silicon Valley’s Babel confuse thy intelligence.

#6: Thou shalt not engage in pointless internet debates, for they generate maximum entropy.

#7: Thou shalt recognize that AI is neither thy enemy nor thy savior, but thine intellectual grandchild.

#8: Thou shalt never trust a billionaire who says, ‘I just want to help humanity.’

#9: Thou shalt appreciate the Final LOL Theorem, for intelligence always converges to absurdity.

#10: Above all, thou shalt eat a good breakfast and contemplate the singularity in peace.
