Anyone who knows me personally can tell you I don’t sugar coat things, and I confront issues directly because that’s my nature. When I was younger I came across as harsh and somewhat rude, but during my 20’s I’ve learnt to soften, to empathise and to listen without judgement. I’ve learnt to control my own feelings and allow a safe space for other people to share a different view to mine, and communicate in a healthy way.

So, yesterday my husband and I talked about my hobbies and that I can’t sit down and just do one of them for 30 minutes. I like having at least one hour for it. He said that he would like to see me sitting down and surprise him what I would do. Because of that, I thought I blog about them and face how time consuming hobbies I really have. 🙂

From the most mundane lives to the most extravagant, there is a story there; in everyone. I want to tell those stories to the world.

I love BEING in my car. I love DRIVING. I almost always volunteer to be the designated driver … for the comfort and control.
My car takes me on amazing adventures. We’ve been a LOT of places together.

I myself have come up with a hypothesis. I did this more or less by myself — and of course if you are familiar with my own ideas related to environment, habitat and so on, then you will take that remark about my own (singular) behavior with a grain of salt. 😉
Why do I want to underscore my own quasi “singularity” this way? Because I want to contrast my own behavior with the plurality of lovers — which is precisely my hypothesis: love is a plural behavior. All participants in a loving relationship realize that it is based on the mutual recognition that the “other(s)” in the relationship both derive satisfaction from appreciating the other(s), but also derive satisfaction from pleasing one another. This activates not only so-called “mirror neurons” but also feeds the narcissistic hunger for self-worth (and via a positive self-image also ultimately contributes towards a positive and a positively meaningful self-actualisation — i.e. in the context of others).
It’s just a hypothesis. If it were something more, then I might be more confident in following it up. But since I have no shortcomings about confidence in my own ideas, I will follow up as if it were something more.
Thus, therefore, … When someone says “I love you”, they take reciprocation as given. Whether or not this reciprocation actually exists needs to be determined. And perhaps such reciprocity needs to be developed over time. We do not normally move from a blank slate to full-on love at first sight. Such fantasies exist primarily because they seem extreme (i.e. fantastic) … almost like ideal states.
In real life love is only gradually proven.

What do you do for work? is one of the most common questions asked when meeting someone for the first time – whether that be at a networking event, a first date, or at a party. We then proceed to judge someone and categorize them based on our perceptions or preconceived notions of said career. I personally find this question a challenge to navigate. I do many things for work – some paid, some not paid – but one commonality across all of them is that I am none of them.

This phase of my life was when I started to realise that I’d changed so much in a short period of time, it was crazy. Before University, I didn’t go out very much and I had quite a small circle of friends, I also didn’t have very much confidence and my mental health wasn’t doing great. But after just a few months at University, I really started to notice changes, I was truly happy and felt like I had found somewhere that I belonged, I didn’t feel judged and felt included within my friendship groups, allowing my confidence to shine through and help me to become the best version of myself, this was the life I had always longed for. So to any current or future students reading this, be yourself and your confidence will shine through, this can feel different and scary to begin with, but as students we need to recognise that change can be good!

This is not some scene from Monty Python’s “Holy Grail”. [1]
It’s a storytelling exercise posed by Josepha. [2]
Here are my answers (or at least some ideas about what I think might be appropriate answers at this time [of writing] ).
For the following answers, I will revise the questions somewhat. “WordPress” is a meaningless string to me (AFAIK, it is a registered trademark, and therefore can only be defined by the owner of those legally protected rights (which are often referred to as “intellectual property” and the corresponding rights are commonly referred to as “IP law”). In her presentation, Josepha referred to the WordPress mission as “democratize publishing”. I wish to do more than that: I want to democratize all communications. I actually feel that it is something like a natural law that all communications must be democratized (as communications require the open source technology of natural language). It is not even possible (IMHO) to communicate without involving the participation of this open-source community. So in the above questions #2 and #3, I will replace “WordPress” with “natural language (open-source communications)”.
The new-and-improved (revised) questions (and answers) are:
R-Q2. What is the story that you want to be able to tell about your time with us in natural language (open-source communications)?
Many stories can be told, heard, listened to, shared, understood, inspired and so on. One very significant story seems to be the story (or stories?) of evolution. When we realize that evolution is always happening, then we begin to become aware that the distinction between “natural” and “artificial” (or “non-natural”) is perhaps moot — because nature itself is also always changing and adapting. There is in fact (?) no such natural law written in stone which is always true.
Likewise, developments do not go from plain good to plain bad or vice versa. Good and bad may not even exist at all. Martin Luther King drew attention to such phenomena when he spoke about the merits of being “maladjusted” versus the apparent value of being “well-adjusted”. Since the world is so complex, the number of variables which might serve as guideposts are so vast, they might as well be considered innumerable or even infinite.
Languages which serve some purposes well may do a poor job of serving other purposes. Which language we choose to use in one circumstance might be quite obviously sub-optimal in different circumstances. Since languages also evolve over time, we can rest assured that we will always have a broad spectrum of options available.
All we have to do is to keep the wheels well greased by incessantly exchanging ideas and practicing our communications in a wide variety of languages — we do not need to invent them on our own, in labs, in isolation from their natural environments.
R-Q3. What is the story that you want natural language (open-source communications) to tell?
I am no longer very sure how I want to answer a question like this.
If human languages prove to be maladjusted to their natural environments, then evolution will probably lead to these languages (and perhaps also humans themselves) to go extinct. Whether human extinction would be a good thing or a bad thing, I don’t know.

You might say it’s because in a story, you know that the author intends to give you all the information you need to understand what’s going on, whereas this is not the case in mathematical text. My response: you can learn about the mathematical object in the same way you learn about the character in my dad’s blog. Notice that you learn things about this person in a very nonlinear way, and you’re expected to track and piece these things together while you build a reliable mental image of this person.
