The real thing vs the summary

January 26, 2019

If you want to see the latest Marvel movie, but haven’t seen the earlier ones, what do you do?

Do you watch all the movies, or find a summary online?

It probably comes down to:

How much time you have; and
How much do you value getting the full experience.ā

Don’t be surprised if the experience is underwhelming if you haven’t committed the time to the lead in.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I believe that place matters.

Our connection to whatever little corner of the planet we find ourselves in, or choose to place ourselves on, matters.

I'm relentlessly curious and continually learning.

My interests are scattered across topics including property, strategy, acoustics, psychology, theology, systems theory, quantum physics and leadership. I read, listen, watch, and learn about whatever grabs my attention in the moment.

This is a learning experiment.

I come here to try to make sense of something I’ve come across, by writing about it.

I’m immersing myself in a new language.

I’m learning to speak Te Reo Māori, the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand and one of our official languages. After spending 2020 studying, I’m figuring out how to keep the journey going outside the classroom.

You’re welcome to follow along.
