![[welcome.png]] Hi 👋 My name’s Thomas D. Pellegrin, but you may call me Tom. I’m the gardener here. ## This is my digital garden You have reached a journey, not a destination. Here, I plant seedlings of thoughts (atomic ideas) that I consider worthy of cultivating. Some may wither and be pruned; others may bloom and extend their tendrils (hyperlinks, tags) as I fertilize them with elaboration. A few may pollinate and [[Emergence|blossom]] into chimeras (meta ideas). ## This is where I learn in public I use this [[Digital garden|digital garden]] to collect ideas that help me better understand the world and sharpen my mental models. I do this by applying the [[Plastic platypus learning|Feynman technique]] to self-learning. I revisit my notes regularly to avoid [[Forgetting curve|forgetting]]. I also use an [[Idea compass|idea compass]] to [[Typed link|type-link]] ideas with related concepts. ## Why I tend this digital garden I am a [[Nexialism|nexialist]] and disciple of the [[Scholarship of integration|scholarship of integration]]. Here, I connect ideas across seemingly unrelated disciplines to yield [[Emergence|emergent]] insights through [[poiesis]]. I also believe that offloading those ideas to an [[Exobrain|exobrain]] like this one unburdens the mind's working memory for a less anxious exploration of the search space. ## What to find here Here, you will find an eclectic assortment of ideas that broadly map onto my interests in [[complexity]], consciousness, [[dialectics]], [[emergence]], epistemology, mental models, ethics (esp. [[moral luck]]), [[Riemann hypothesis|mathematics]], chaos theory, metaphysics, quantum physics (esp. [[Quantum mechanics, cellular automaton interpretation|superdeterminism]] and many-worlds), and blockchain technology, among others. ## Where to start Below are indicative entry points into the garden. There is no [[Eulerian path]] that will optimize your journey here. Once you land on a note, use the idea compass to move to the next. Let [[Serendipity|serendipity]] guide you as you forage, and remember that [[Not all those who wander are lost|not all those who wander are lost]]. Take the time to smell the flowers; I hope you enjoy your visit. >[!example]+ List of most recent notes >![[Index of recent notes|clean full no-title]] >[!example]+ List of my original ideas >![[Index of original notes|clean full no-title]] >[!example]+ Random notes >![[Index of random notes|clean full no-title]]
