Presentations

I delivered a talk titled "Geometric Algebra: It's not Algebraic Geometry!" at the 2024 CUMC/CCÉM.

Observations

Here are some observations that shape my worldview:

• Fact and opinion aren't complements, nor are they even well-defined concepts.
• Everything you know is a projection by your senses onto consciousness. If you pay careful attention, thoughts, feelings, and perceptions are really the same type of thing.
• Language is a game of applying measures or judgments to the world according to certain, often-unspoken rulesets. By nature, language can only point at the world through measurements qualified by such rulesets.

Personal Computing

My setup consists of a Macbook Air and an old Thinkpad running FreeBSD. I use the following software:

• Sway as a window manager
• tofi as an application launcher
• kitty or iTerm as a terminal emulator
• Bash or Zsh as a shell
• Neovim as a text editor, or VS Code for visual stuff
• Typst as a typesetting language
• qutebrowser or Arc as a web browser

My dotfiles are (partially) available on GitHub. I haven't gotten around to pushing all of them, yet.
