Welcome :
Welcome to the lunika-memory blog. Here I'll be using some of the techniques to memorize various types of information. I will be using various methods that I teach in my courses and books. So don't expect just the method of loci. I will use any kind of method that I deem appropriate.
Frequency of writing :
My hope is that I can make updates at least once or twice per week. It can sometimes be the case that I'm too busy to make an update.
Illustrations :
I'm confident enough to write my own text, relying on 21st-century writing tools to correct spelling and grammar mistakes; however, when it comes to illustrations and visual aids, I may rely on AI images. I thought about going into illustrations when I was 9 years old, but I gave up developing my skills at 14. At 9, I began writing comic books and drawing caricatures. I would almost always take out a "how to draw" book from the local library, and when I became familiar with using the internet, "how to draw" websites were my staple.
I gave up the art because I felt slightly embarrassed at being judged at home when I moved locations to attend high school. I was also, for a short time, becoming more fundamentalist in my approach to life, and so I had to give up drawing as some of my illustrations were based on impious and "spiritually weak" themes like aliens, superheroes, and other things that didn't align with my fundamentalist beliefs at the time.
I regret giving up the craft and wish I could get back into it. However, I have so many crafts and hobbies I have focused on since; like origami, sudoku, chess, mind sports, reading etc. I'm at a loss on whether I will have time to spare on improving my drawing skills again without being burnt out.
But I have digressed out of existence! Forgive me for getting a little personal. No doubt many who read this will cringe at the "spicy" personal details. But it is doubtful that I will ever get famous enough for people to notice and start ripping me apart in forums and on social media.
Well, at least I disclosed to my readers. My main idea is to focus on writing for myself. I will use this blog as a form of escapism. A form of artistic expression. A world where I can just relax. A world where I'm not just another John Doe automaton in a world that focuses on labour, profit and sucking your soul by working monotonously. Not to sound disparaging, but even great thinkers are soon forgotten by the corporate world after they have passed on. A moment of silence for a day or two...but after that it's as if you never existed. Attaching our meaning in life to being part of the giant corporate machine that can easily cast us aside, as if we are expendable toys, after we are no longer useful, sounds mildly dreadful and undignified to me. So an artistic respite is such a rejuvenating and invigorating breath of fresh air!
