**Hi 👋 I'm Thomas. I'm the gardener here.** ![[welcome.png]] ## About me I am originally from Monaco 🇲🇨 and currently reside in Singapore 🇸🇬 (respectively the 2nd and 20th smallest countries in the world). I have lived, studied, and worked in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and now Asia; and have been blessed with traveling to 50+ countries. I consider myself a global citizen. Professionally, I have been an aerospace and aviation consultant since 2000. I am now a Partner at Deloitte (the world's largest multidisciplinary professional services firm), where I lead the aviation industry sector for Asia Pacific. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasdpellegrin/) has my academic and career history. Views expressed here are my own. ## About this website ### This is my digital garden 🌿 where 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 blossom into chimeras (meta ideas). ### This is where I learn in public 👀 and collect ideas that sharpen my mental model of the world. I do this by applying the [[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]] who enjoys connecting ideas across seemingly unrelated disciplines to yield [[Emergence|emergent]] insights through [[poiesis]]. I also believe that consistent note-taking frees up the mind for a less anxious exploration of the search space. ### What to find here 🍀 An eclectic assortment of ideas (including a few of my own) that broadly map onto my interests in complexity, consciousness, dialectics, emergence, epistemology, mental models, ethics, mathematics, chaos theory, metaphysics, literature, and many more. ### How to navigate 🗺️ Browse the index [[Index of all tags (alpha sort)|of all tags]] or [[Index of all notes (alphabetical, list)|of all notes]] or pick a suggestion below. Then use the idea compass to navigate. 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]]. ## Start here ### Latest edits ![[Index of latest edits|clean no-title]] ### Latest notes ![[Index of new notes|clean no-title]] ### Longest notes ![[Index of longest notes|clean no-title]] ### Original notes ![[Index of original notes|clean no-title]] ### Random notes ![[Index of random notes|clean no-title]] ## Colophon This site is built using [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) set to the [Minimal](https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal) theme's *Everforest* color scheme and webified using the [Publish](https://obsidian.md/publish) plugin.
