People nowadays hold different positions and it is growing frustrating. We need to put opinions aside and sit down to communicate with each other so that we can learn to understand each other. To understand the world is not the key, the process itself is.

What do you do?

I maintain a blog, a digital garden and an online photo album because I love writing, reading and taking photos (mostly with my smartphone). I primarily read nonfiction books, such as philosophy, social sciences, and history. I also read novels by writers like Somerset Maugham. I read and think from different perspectives. I enjoy communicating and discussing with others. I believe the hardest thing for people is to know themselves. I use Obsidian and Anytype for note-taking.

Why?

I write shitty articles because so that I can read those junks and laugh at them years after I grow. I read different books from those who spent their whole lives learning and achieving. I communicate and discuss with others because this builds consensus.

What should we read?

Selected Works Of Mao Tse-tung by Mao Tse-Tung
