I had a busy week finishing the teaching hours for the three institutions I work for. That took up a lot of time during the week and didn’t leave me much time for anything else.
I did participate in an early-stage meeting with a group of people around the Caribbean, but I can’t talk about that here now.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the strategy I would like to implement to develop my thoughts, work and ideas over the coming year. I’m not into resolutions, and I don’t think they are particularly useful, but a couple of structured thoughts can help develop a pathway to something different.
I’m thinking of changing the name of the company I have built, or at least the name under which I offer my services. I’d like to represent the work I do a little more clearly in that name. I’ve registered a domain, and I’m slowly moving to a consolidation of sites and tools to bring this all together into one coherent representation. That’s work for early 2024.
For now, it’s family dinners and a little rest.
Reading
I haven’t done a lot of reading this week, being mostly busy and too tired in the evening to concentrate. I’ve read a little, but not a lot.I’ve added a couple of books to the reading list, too. Hopefully, I’ll get around to reading those one day.
Of note
The “Substack promotes Nazis” debacle continued, and a lot more pressure has built up over the last week or so. There has been an exodus of writers, and the ones left are accused of sympathising with that ideology.I think that is a little harsh, but I do fall on the side of the debate that says that the correct number of Nazis one should have on a platform is zero or as close to zero as is feasible. I’m not going to go over the debate here; suffice it to say that Karl Popper’s Paradox should explain it sufficiently for you to understand.
Have a great week.
