Re Human Day 26

Re-inventing ourselves is the most important skill nowadays. I’m re-inventing myself by improving in 15 areas at a time. This post is part of my Re Human project.

Daily Habits

Books: I’ve been listening to The Dream Machine. Some notes from today:

Computing is just like life (given an input, it responds). To reproduce it needs: Ability to copy itself, Description copier (making copy of description of itself, so it can pass it along).

The proper analytical language to describe human behavior and thought is computation.

Rules generate behavior. (Conway’s game of life is a great example)

Licklider saw computers as the enabler of a grandiose thinking mind: a human-machine symbiosis, where the machine does all the logical, tedious, algorithmic thinking and the human does all the creative thought.

Re Human Extended Activity: Fridays is Graphic Design.

Today I decided to try out Sketch (had been using Figma). Starting with their free trial. Watched all the videos that https://learnux.io/ allowed me to watch without paying (around 4–5) which was enough basics. And then spent some time in Sketch getting used to their interface. Something I want to do is design the “Re Human” blog/website. Then I spent some time in Skillshare (have a 3-month subscription that my girlfriend gifted me for my birthday!) learning about making wordmark logos.

Writing: This post, code, and a daily thought.

Fitness: Still working on handstands and human flag.

Meditation: Yesterday Muse recorded I spent around 6 minutes overall in the “deep calm” state (based on brain signals) — today I brought it up to 11minutes!

Piano: Today in Flowkey I browsed around their songs and started learning La La Land’s Sebastian and Mia’s theme — which doesn’t seem too bad! (is in beginner level).

Soccer trick juggling: Still working on good juggles consistency.

Connections, takeaways and Ideas for tomorrow

I decided I’m going to experiment putting a quote at the end of my posts.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man” — George Bernard Shaw
