You lost time not to laziness. You lost it to things that looked right. Relationships that felt close enough. Jobs that paid well enough.

CW: SOMA, small vent about presence of mind during thought-provoking video games and failing to portray them with the respect they deserve.
Man, this is the second time I've watched a playthrough or analysis of a game we've played on stream where I've come away from my own playthrough feeling like I somehow missed important messages.
Granted, you can chalk it up to the split attention that comes with streaming, but when I had this happen after playing #Mouthwashing it was the first time I ever experienced anything around that game, of course it's going to be hard to absorb/digest the themes/messages of that game when you have a divided attention.
However, when I played #SOMA back in 2022 I had already watched Markiplier's LP before I had decided to revisit the game for myself. I knew there was a philospohical & existential thread woven throughout the game, and while that entire discussion is still very much accurate to my playthrough, one thing I feel I completely missed the mark on is the antagonistic nature that Catherine presents as and how she treats her research and the people of Pathos-II.
There's a non-zero part of me that almost feels like my take on my experience in SOMA is not how I would prefer to present the game, although the rest of me still wants it to exist, even if I may not be happy with it personally.
If you're interested in a playthrough that handles it more as a game with some light philosophical discussions & posits, feel free to check out my playthrough on either of my channels. However, if you're interested in a much more meaningful, philosophical discussion on the nature of consciousness, sense of self, and the value of humanitarianism in scientific endeavors such as this, I suggest giving the playthrough from Dr. Mick a watch. He is able to so eloquently explain what I failed to portray with so much more tact & respect, it's hardly a comparison.

“If I went back, I would not have done this as this is not according to the teaching of Islam,” Soliman said. “What I did came out of myself and only myself.”«

“Never put yourself in a position in which you regret what you didn’t do. - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Forty-one years ago today, I stepped onto a plane in Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading toward a national office in Toronto, Ontario, and a future that didn't yet have a name.
I was a Chartered Accountant by trade, but my heart was already in the "pipes"—the emerging, messy world of computer connectivity. For three years, I had already immersed myself deep into the opportunities that came from the online world, understanding the power of global collaboration, online research, knowledge acceleration, and disruptive ideas. In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.
41 years on, I know I did the right thing.
Many times in your life, you will need to confront similar big decisions. Should you make the big, bold leap? Should you take the daring jump into the unknown? Can you really hold your breath, close your eyes, take the plunge into tomorrow, and hope for the best?
If you don't, you might end up regretting not doing the most important thing you should have done.
Never put yourself in that situation.
The greatest risk you will ever take is the risk of staying where you are when you know you were meant for what’s next.
Don't ask what happens if you fail.
Ask what happens if you never try at all.

Futurist Jim Carroll has been in the online world since 1982. He's seen it go from its nascent beginnings to the massive global machine that it is today.

In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.
The move came about because I had been identified by the national office as someone who could implement the opportunities of that 'something big on a nationwide basis. They offered me a position to chase my ideas, albeit in a bigger, well-funded way - and I accepted.
That moment in time was the final, terrifying step in my ultimate pivot. I wasn't just changing roles; I was abandoning "certainty" for a wild risk on what would eventually become the Internet.

And yet, I've never looked back with regret at the decision I made to move forward. I often wonder what my world would be like today if I had let that regret define my future.
41 years on, I know I did the right thing.
Many times in your life, you will need to confront similar big decisions. Should you make the big, bold leap? Should you take the daring jump into the unknown? Can you really hold your breath, close your eyes, take the plunge into tomorrow, and hope for the best?
If you don't, you might end up regretting not doing the most important thing you should have done.
Never put yourself in that situation.
The greatest risk you will ever take is the risk of staying where you are when you know you were meant for what’s next.
Forty-one years later, my accounting title is an artifact, but the decision to chase a future without a name remains the smartest move I ever made.
Don't ask what happens if you fail.
Ask what happens if you never try at all.

“Never put yourself in a position in which you regret what you didn’t do. - Futurist Jim Carroll

Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Forty-one years ago today, I stepped onto a plane in Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading toward a national office in Toronto, Ontario, and a future that didn't yet have a name.
I was a Chartered Accountant by trade, but my heart was already in the "pipes"—the emerging, messy world of computer connectivity. For three years, I had already immersed myself deep into the opportunities that came from the online world, understanding the power of global collaboration, online research, knowledge acceleration, and disruptive ideas. In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.
The move came about because I had been identified by the national office as someone who could implement the opportunities of that 'something big on a nationwide basis. They offered me a position to chase my ideas, albeit in a bigger, well-funded way - and I accepted.
That moment in time was the final, terrifying step in my ultimate pivot. I wasn't just changing roles; I was abandoning "certainty" for a wild risk on what would eventually become the Internet. And yet, I've never looked back with regret at the decision I made to move forward. I often wonder what my world would be like today if I had let that regret define my future.

How to Manufacture Regret at Night
It's been a long time since we didn't feel any regret. How to experience it: make sure we have a little thirsty feeling at night. Then, order some cold beverages, such as coffee, drink it, quench our thirst, and regret that we can't sleep properly during the night. Advice: don't try this. Try it only if you will and your circumstances allow it, such as tomorrow when you don't have class and it is a holiday.

If it wasn't for that, maybe I wouldn't have posted this. This is also to tell my friends that I like to be frank. Hopefully I won't be like that again and also that won't go to Kopi Kenangan again. They don't sell their products but the atmosphere of using their products.

I bought this just because I didn't want to be alone at that time with my ex-friends because there was a meeting at that time. Oh how stupid I was to buy this just so I could mingle with my 'friends' in that community that I'm no longer with.
