Philosophy

This is the philosophy shelf: first-person notes on traditions, thinking tools, and the questions I keep circling. Each note is written as a personal working draft, not a lecture — a core claim, a lived example, and the links that tie it to neighbouring ideas. Read laterally: follow the cross-links and the conflict pairs rather than going top to bottom.

Start here

Flagship

Stoicism — The Weather Inside

The clearest single note for how these read: control, character, and the storm inside as an optional one.

Eastern counterpart

Buddhism — The Practice of Letting Go

The release-and-attention line that most of the eastern notes branch from.

Thinking tool

First Principles — Digging to Bedrock

Start here if you want the reasoning-method notes rather than a tradition.

How to read this shelf

  • Each note opens with a core-claim callout and a reflective question — read those first to decide if you want the whole note.
  • The linkage tree and ideological conflicts sections at the foot of each note are the real navigation; follow them sideways.
  • Use Philosophy Workflow - How I Write if you want the template behind the format.
