Improvements
The better we get at getting better, the faster we get better.
β Engelbart
I and my friend used to have a saying directly inspired by the movie Hellraiser. We liked to think ourselves as an "explorers in the further regions of the experience".
Unlike in that movie, we didn't want to explore dimensions of pain and pleasure, but that of user experience and alternative systems and methods for working with computers. Think lisp machines and Smalltalk environments. Later, this translated into all kind of hardware, software, design, ability to create code and so on.
I don't really know when I first realized, that you can actually improve your system and enhance effectivity, and you'll get compound interest, that will pay huge gains down the timeslope.

π The Most Personal Device experiment
I have this idea of a 'Most Personal Device', which is this little computer you always have with you, never leave it out of your sight, and use it as an authenticator and recovery seed for everything else.
π Vitamins, nootropics and other boosters
Small database of stimulants and other substances I've tried.
π List of improvements directions
It is some time since I've decided to compile list of the possible improvements I can think of. List is personal and by no means complete.
π the Software
At the beginning, you are an animal. Advanced monkey. You have hands and legs. You can see, hear, smell and taste. You learn by interacting with the world, and with other advanced monkeys.
π Report: Monkey occupiers
In one of my older Czech blog-posts (FΓ‘rΓ‘nΓ do myΕ‘lenkovΓ©ho dolu Ne-ΓΊplnΔ OddΔlenΓ© Opice, Going down into the though-mine of Not-entirely Separated Monkey), I proposed a theory, that in order to do something intellectual, you have to calm your inner monkey (see Neuralink and the Brainβs Magical Future for the theory of the inner-monkey).
