So for today: downloading and tagging a copy of the Bhagavad-gītā, studying the Vegetarian and Vegan book I get to write a journal review for (! very prestigious at this nascent stage of my career), and yes sewing t-shirts and underpants. I rather like being a scholar, although I'm still unsure how much I like the world of academia. ... and of course I love love LOVE being able to make excellent, quality, long-lasting plant-based clothing.

Anyone else using #anki flashcards as a learning aid? What an incredible tool! I am building a #sanskrit learning program based off the देववाणीप्रवेशिका. I think what I like most is it has limits (that you can change of course) and engineering such that you learn a lot without banging your head against hours and hours of labour. This makes the process actually pleasant. As a longtime #autodidactic #unschooler, I believe if learning is a drag most students will drop the subject matter.

"It's funny, people act like life with children is dirty and messy, full of boogers and suspect odors and grubby pants and and loud noises, but it was nothing like this at all. It was spirited and bright and beautiful and wild, even to this day my now-grown children astonish me with their wildness and their supreme Goodness, even today they are so beautiful they take my breath away when they walk in a room."

I write #Notes that help me think. They are often #abstract and always #autodidactic. I hope this makes them idiosyncratically charming; I also fear it makes them foolish.

Anyway, here's one on why #Rationalism is not rational: https://wolfgangwopperer.com/notes/rationalism-is-not-rational

If I get no objections, I'll continue posting these as they accumulate.
