This blog is an extension of myself, embodying my defining characteristics: raw, practical, and direct. Like a  wild dog .

Topics

This blog doesn't have one set theme but covers what I'm interested in. To give you a sense of what gets posted, I'll introduce a few topics. There are 3 topics I've pondered for a long time:

Scalable Learning - Explores methods for rapidly acquiring vast amounts of knowledge.

Tool Intelligence - The concept of having a distinct ability to effectively utilize tools themselves.

Anti Plausible - I struggle to explicitly define the meaning of this term. So I'll indirectly explain what this topic entails by skirting around it. Examples of "Plausible" in this context: unconsciously adhering to implicit forms, receiving high marks from evaluators but lacking real-world value. "Anti-Plausible" can be considered the opposite of those things.

Unintentionally, I realized these three topics were chained together. They're about how to quickly learn many things to gain abilities, amplify those abilities, and do something with them. Also unintentionally, these interconnected three are increasingly necessary skills for people in the AI era

Overall, many posts on this blog will be about self-improvement (including the three topics above), while the rest will be my various thoughts and opinions.

Writing Style

Originality

I strive to avoid repeating what others have already said elsewhere. There's no surefire way to know if a topic is truly new. What I actually do is that whenever I write a new post, I ask ChatGPT, "Is this content original or has it been covered elsewhere?" It's an imperfect method, but it's all I can do.

No SEO

Marketing is good, but I don't want to alter post content for its sake. Frankly, the thought of writing to fit SEO algorithms irritates me. The world already suffers enough from everyone's fierce SEO efforts.

Practicality

I try to write posts with takeaways. There are already many posts that make sense but aren't helpful. Reading those with an empty mind wastes time, ultimately providing no help or change.

No Fluff

I despise such things. Example: "In the ever-evolving realm of web development, JavaScript remains a steadfast cornerstone..." (Sorry to whoever wrote that, I just grabbed it randomly from the internet.) Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to see writing where over 90% is this kind of fluff. I strive to avoid unnecessary introductions, conclusions, and other fluff as much as possible. I aim to get straight to the point. (By the way, this could be considered an example of "Anti-Plausible" mentioned earlier. Writing an introduction is plausible.)

Choosing Meaningful Over Safe

To better convey the nuance of this style, I'll provide examples of the opposite - safe, meaningless writing.

• Meaningless writing due to "pressure to balance" - A post comparing similar things, but the descriptions are all so safe that everything seems the same. After reading, you have no idea which is good.

• Meaningless writing from not considering "to what extent" - "How to be good at math: Fish contains DHA, which is good for the brain and helps with math ability." It's impossible to prove this claim false, and it's probably true. But the effect is so minimal that it's meaningless.

• A writing that only deals with safe, uncontentious generalities, lacking substance or practicality

I'm not intentionally trying to seem strange. But if I had to choose between being safe and meaningful, I'd choose meaningful.

Attempting to Persuade You to Subscribe

1. If you found this page on your own, you're likely the target reader for this blog.

2. If you resonate with my characteristics, my posts will be sources of serendipity for you. This blog doesn't have a single, specific theme. It primarily covers my interests. You could view this positively. A new person expands the world differently than the web. To get that serendipity, it's good if their interests don't completely align with yours.

3. Anti-Social Proof - If ducks quack and you quack, you're a duck. The duck test concept in programming. But if you don't want to be a duck, you should act differently from ducks. This blog just started and has few subscribers.

About Me

Hi. I'm Sungho Yahng. (Mnemonic: SUN Goes High Over)

On an about page, I think I should introduce myself. But I have nothing to boast about, so all I can do is storytelling.

However, I realized that would only lead to producing stories of human triumph. (I don't want to be cool for human triumphs. I want to be cool like Iron Man or a pop idol).

Yet those who walk effortlessly can't learn the method of walking. Ask the cripple who barely walks. Being crippled myself, I'll share what that enables me to know.

Now that the introductions are over, the rest is inevitable: The form.
