Context A friend suggested we go to a book event / interview, and I figured I would check out what it was about and how such things look. I knew very little about the book or the author and I was curious what I would get. This is a reflection on my experience. I knew nothing about the person or the book, and I am not going to talk about either of those things since I have no real knowledge. The main idea I want to focus on is how ideas were being communicated, what that says about what is being presented, and what it should say. But overall, I would say it was a good experience, maybe not in the way the author intended, but good nonetheless. My Experience The book was አዲሲቱ እየሩሳሌም by Demoz Goshime. You may recognize him from movies or screenplays he has done. On this show he was invited to talk about his new book. I knew almost nothing about him except for a quick Google search, which suggested that his work are is contemplative, spiritual and philosophical. My very little experience with religious teachings, in terms of how ideas are presented, I would say, was a bit unpleasant. and the same was for this interview. For me it felt like listening to an episode of Dr. Rodas Tadese on አንድሮሜዳ. The talk jumped from term to term across an overwhelming landscape of ideas, traveling from countries to a single city in a matter of seconds. There was no clear path, no way to follow a line of thought. Is there a place to ask whether someone is communicating well for this kind of discussion? Is there a rule? Do we really need to express and communicate ideas like this? Does how we communicate reflect what the idea itself is and how well we understand it? I think it does. In science, logical consistency is expected in your argument and your ideas. There is a method you have to follow for a statement to be considered a rational thought. I sat and tried to listen to what felt like a 3+ hour ride on a roller coaster, and despite my effort, I could not understand what was being said

For your own sanity, always take mixed signals as a no and read the hesitation as rejection. You deserve someone that's certain about you :)

A month in better-auth by Dagmawi Babi I got an internship at Better Auth at the start of July and it’s been a month now and it’s been so wonderful in so many different ways and this blog is just an overview of somethings I’ve learnt and discovered.

When I'm invited to someone's podcast, I'll do my own thumbnail it's been years since I touched blender but looks alright.

"The lesson here isn’t that every excess outlay of effort pays dividends immediately; it’s that people really notice when you show up despite it not being a matter of duty or obviously in your self-interest. And people remember it"

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. Our life has no end in the way in which our visual field has no limits. Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
