I'm so tempted to do what I swore I'd never do: use nice photos of my as desktop wallpaper. I'm not going to do it. No. The thing is: it would be kind of justified, because they're objectively the cutest babies, ever. Like, seriously. More adorable than other people's kids. So I could do it. But no, I'm not going to do it. Nope.

@freemo Oh, I was just going to browse it real quick (I think)… but thanks. (Perhaps better to try to put it under archive.is or archive.org — for the benefits of others, too.)

Good point.

Well, I have listed immutable traits (_white_) as well as hobbies (_biker_) and transient or contingent statuses (_vegetarian_).

I am a _contrarian_ much in the same vein that I'm _white_, an _introvert_, or a _Japanophile_: it's not something I strive for, or even do consciously; and I may well cease to be a contrarian like I may no longer be a Japanophile in the future. It's just the way I think I am — today.

But I get your point about [keeping our identities small](paulgraham.com/identity.html) 👍

[Antonio Escohotado](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_), one of my dearest intellectual heroes, died today 😢

He was a true erudite, a polymath, and a free soul.

He devoured the classics, opposed dictator Franco, was the fiercest of Communists, pioneered the hippy revolution in , travelled the world, studied and experimented with most drugs known to mankind, changed his views, lectured , taught himself a few languages, became the most articulate , wrote the definitive tomes on a variety of scientific subjects, changed his views again, and shared it all along the way.

What I admire the most, though, is that he read everything under the sun. Primary sources, secondary sources, biographies, commentary. And he seemed to remember it all. set out to deeply understand something — be it , , , — and damned studied every single relevant page there is about the subject, tirelessly, for years, until he emerged with the most robust of opinions about the topic, and a comprehensive view in the form of a new .

I am very inspired by him to always freaking read the classics, and the sources.

And I have always lamented that his fame in the English-speaking world wasn't commensurate with his many merits.

His last months were the chronicle of a death foretold: he chose to leave, and did so in his own terms, with dignity, in his beloved Ibiza.

I went to see him at public events here in a couple of times. He was a giant, some unfortunate views or quotations notwithstanding.

I miss him already.

🇪🇸

For a long time I thought were unusually egocentric and annoying in our obsession with our own trade and tools: we dedicate inordinate attention to designing, rewriting and tweaking libraries, frameworks, plugins, etc _for our own, and our peers', usage_.

But most recently, I've realised that also love to discuss and criticise the ; often write and sing about and other ; so many seem focused on and its tools (as opposed to their object of study); etc.

Perhaps we are not so unique after all…
