What a wonderful write-up, merging theories of Maths with social behaviors and explaining the concept of the small world through crystal clear illustrations. This article gave me so many thoughts to ponder on! Sorry to hear that you're battling with depression and I wish that you get out of this cycle of depression as soon as possible.I wonder how do you manage to bring about so many interesting topics to write on, regularly, in spite of battling with depression! There's a lot to learn from your spirit! Keep going.
Thank you so much for the feedback Swati! I really appreciate it.
Writing really helps with depression. There's some interesting psychology behind it. In my case, not doing (or not being able to do) stuff is what really depresses me.
I have some disappointingly cheap tricks for coming up with ideas to write about. I used work on academic research on creativity, so I picked up a couple of tricks!
I'll make sure to share some in the future XD
I am happy to be your pal 😊
Thanks for the mention and for this great article too.
I learn something new from you. I did not know that six degree of separation coming from Frigyes Katinthy. Hungarians are just awesome. Stay tuned, today I will post some hints to help you learn the Hungariam language😊
Since I saw your unique cover illustrations I am thinking about starting doodling. As I won't buy a tablet just because if that, do you think it is possible to draw on a Galaxy S10? If yes, which app would you suggest?
In the past I loved playing with Draw Something, but as far as I know it is nit available anymore. Do you know some alternative?
Thanks for this awesome writing again man. 😊
Buy the way, if you could ask one question from Elon Mask what would it be? 😊
Of course we are pals!
Looking forward to learn some Hungarian!
With regards to drawing apps. There is an app called Infinite Painter both on Android and iOS that is almost exactly the same in terms of features and ease of use as Procreate (the app I use), which is iOS exclusive.
There is also Autodesk Sketchbook both for Android and iOS. This is more geared towards sketching and industrial drawing. Whereas Procreate and Infinite Painter are targeted for artists.
Really, any of them is pretty good.
In case you would prefer to work on a PC, there is Krita, which is open source. And one of the best digital paint apps out there. In my opinion even better than Photoshop. An even simpler pc alternative is My Paint. It is really good, and it is as simple as it gets.
Regardless of the option you choose I highly recommend using either a pressure-sensitive stylus or a graphics tablet. I use an Apple Pencil on the iPad, and a Wacom intuos on my computer. They are nice, but in no way necessary. I used to draw with my fingers XD
Also a pro tip for your drawing adventures: use the "lazy mouse" feature that most apps have in some form or another, to get some really clean-looking lines!
Miki Szeles I would ask Elon Musk if he has a job for me! I heard he wants people who can think critically. hehehe
On the other hand, I would ask him if he knows about Embodied Cognition and more generally the "4E Cognition" school in cognitive science. And If he would like to discuss the problems it poses for projects like Neuralink.
I know, it sounds dry and academic, but I like that stuff XD
Thanks for the advice Jorge Romero. I will check Infinite Painter. For my phone I only have a non pressure sensitive stylus.
On PC it is different. Being also a photographer I have the Adobe Subscription for Photographers, which provides access to Photoshop and Lightroom. I even bought a displayeless drawing tablet with 8192 different pressure value, but up till now, I did not use it too often. 😊
Regarding Elon Musk: I thought my English is good up till I started to read the article you mentioned. 😊
I only understood half of the sentences and being long as hell I gave up after a few pharagraphs. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this introspective article. It was nicely written. It's good to think about our connections and relationships with other people. I believe in examining these ideas to apply better social networking to our own lives. I think it's important to weigh the value of each connection with the positivity it brings. If a connection is not as good as it should be, then I reevaluate it to discern the possibility of dropping it. We should surround ourselves with those who lift us up. Anyone who drags us down is to be avoided. Thanks again for the thought-provoking article, Jorge! 😎
Thank you for those kind words Randy Knight.
I think you hit the nail in the head. While the science consist of plain statistics, the human factor is always present. While it's a good idea to take scientific findings into account, the best way to network is the way you are compelled to.
We are building human connections anyways, not connecting dots in a graph. But I think the insight I shared fits nicely with our human needs. Thats why I decided to share!
That's a very interesting and well formed article Jorge Romero!
Thank you for your kind words Kaushal Joshi!
