Starting a new challenge! :D

 So I haven't been playing games a lot nowadays save for Rhythm Hive and the Superstar games. Every Criminal Case game of mine got stuck and I 'm not able to start a case before it becomes unresponsive and automatically exits the app. Which is a pity. 

Admittedly, I feel dumb. Dumb and unproductive. And I really want to make myself do something, so I made this challenge for myself.

Learn-something-new-every-day challenge

When a friend of mine one day texted me asking me about chickens and pregnancy, I researched it, and I actually got myself learning a lot about them. Explaining it to her was an extra plus. I liked that feeling of feeling competent again, because all I knew stuck at school level. I used to be a huge fact collector but I somehow lost that. Learning something new makes me feel more useful I guess. It helps me get along with people, gives me a conversation starter, makes me feel better about myself, just makes me smarter, etc. 

So this is what I'll do: I'm going to wikipedia.org, and direct myself to a random page. I'm then going to read everything on that page. If I'm curious, I'll read even more links. After that, I'm going to write an article about what I learnt here. Try my best to summarize. After that, I'll link the blog post to my listography to see my progress. Let it accumulate.

I'll call this the Episteme challenge. I searched words up for name ideas and Episteme is Greek for knowledge. Moreso knowledge for theory, and not for application.

I'll start tomorrow lol. 

I hope this does loads better for my confidence, because really, I dislike myself. When I'm most proud of myself is when I've actually gotten something done. It makes me feel capable, like I actually have hope to get into a good university like my mother wanted. Aside from that, hopefully it helps me gain an interest on something, so that I can be a step closer to discovering my ambitions and what I'm interested in. I could see patterns between what I enjoyed, and what was boring. Hopefully I read through everything though, not just what's interesting.

Well, that's it. 

Well, stay tuned for the first post tomorrow!

Episteme - July 11th - Socionics Intertype Relations

 Day 5 - Socionics Intertype Relations Why socionics intertype relations? So I got an MBTI + Enneagram burnout, but I still really like typology. It's probably the one subject I'll ever be an expert and have the diligence to follow. I've wanted to tackle Socionics for a while - I had mediocre knowledge, but it definitely should be improved. Anyways, intertype relations. It was inspired by visiting Sunghoon of Enhypen's profile. Then I noticed something - he was voted ESI. To be honest, it does fit him (a lot better than the previously voted LSI. That vote's gone), but then I remembered that Jake was a SEI. Jake and Sunghoon are literally called the soulmates of Enhypen because of how much they relate to each other and find each other similar, so I decided to look it up. They're apparently something called... Quasi. And it doesn't fit what they're promoted as, so I'm curious bahaha. Thus this came to be. Socionics Intertype Relations Okay, so for thos...

Criminal Case - Status Update mid-March 2021

Image
Of course, I'm not a beginner. I created this blog whilst the game is in progress. So it's probably important to update how far into it I am, right? Pacific Bay Pacific Bay, the second installment of the Criminal Case series. From left to right, Roxie, Frank, Amy, and Yann.  Here's the full map, and how far I am into the game. I'm kinda mad I'm this slow considering how long I've been playing this. I've finished Ocean Shore though And Bayou Bleu Now I'm in Inner City, at case 14. Upon writing this, I realise I have three cases to go until I unlock Jazz Town. Bayou Bleu and Ocean Shore had only 5 cases. I don't know how to feel about this. What the crime looked like. Basically, a priest got his backbone removed and he got filled in with helium and balloons suspend him in the air. Hooray. //spoilers And the details of the case: I'm almost done with this ...

Episteme - July 7th - Qualia

 Day 1 - Qualia Why Qualia? One of the things I've been meaning to research more was about thoughts. I was actually going to do it on a thought experiment - Mary's room to be specific - but I got sidetracked by the amount of words I didn't know the meaning to, so I decided I should explore things slowly but surely. Then I saw a link to this Wikipedia article on Mary's room's webpage, and recalled when I opened that page as a way to explain MBTI Si and never got to reading it. Thus I decided this was a good way to start. Qualia Qualia is described as subjective, conscious experience. As compared to Se, which takes in reality objectively and interprets it into a singular objective view, this is alike to Si as it takes an individual's unique perspective (though perspective is a wrong word, to be honest. Sensation?) According to Wikipedia, the word derives from the Latin word qualis , which means "of what sort" or "of what kind". Subjective exper...
