The beginning. It doesn’t make sense. It takes a certain focus to make it through this pathway. There is a great power which serves in the creation of all things. It all fundamentally involves the manipulation of any combination of physical waves. Pressure waves are responsible for detecting sound, as light waves to, well, light.
Why, that is the entirety of the human experience if you really think about it. So, why does that lead to one weird hairy ape to writing a blog in the year 2025? Glad you asked! That is one of many questions I ask myself.
Any strategy can lead to progress so long as you have intention. That is delusion. One doesn't stand at the edge of the pacific and expect to float to the atlantic. Though one’s delusional belief that they are going to get to the atlantic, then perhaps they will build a boat. You see, this is where the inner critic will come in and tell you “why are you building that boat?” “It’s never going to work.” “You don’t know anything about boats or sailing, so give it up kid.”
You might build the boat anyway, and it might fail. You may sink and be forced to swim back to shore. If you have the grit, you will get back to the drawing board and design another boat. At this point you will have exhausted a lot of resources, so you would be wise to examine what went wrong. You can keep iterating alone, or you can iterate with other shipwrights who may be inspired by your process!
Then enough people will get together and build rockets that launch metal to orbit. All from that drive to build with intention. My intention? I am determined to make the best synths used by the top producers in the world. My first iteration didn’t make it a km. Time to swim back, draw up the next iteration, and sail again . . .
Until next time,
