ETL to QE, Update 26, Observe and Orient

I have plenty of backlogs and roadmaps some public some private. For example,

This is all completely unorganized and must be dealt with. Within an environment like this it is difficult to make strong decisions with the deluge of information and complexity.

My last ETL to QE, Update 25, Research is one thing a usable product is quite another was all about coming up with heuristics for making strong decisions.

Absolute empathy, engineering a persona, influence, persuasion, showing people what they want, manufacturing consent, islanders, The Power Process, coordinate systems, games... maybe I made things worse just repeating a bunch of self help nonsense.

Well I was missing the key heuristic Greatness is Other People. I need to orient my tasks in those TODO lists around other people that's what product is all about right... other people.

So I have my list of idols but I can't directly interact with them, I have my friends and family but I can only show them I can't converse with them about this stuff.... actually some friends are different I am just bad at articulating things.

Let's revisit the concept, Cringe your way to self actualization. Or If you are comfortable you are not growing

We have one primary activity produce memes for other people.

I have made a couple discoveries over the last week that get me really passionate

Quest Engine

Question Engine Exists so you can practice Articulating Themselves. It's all about the quests. I want to build a medium to help people define their quests. Yet I am quite mediocre at defining my own quests. Actually I am pretty mediocre at articulating who I am, this blog get's like no views. I literally expect no one to read this until I become Radically Articulate.

The key user journey for Question engine was to making getting to know oneself fun and exciting. Endlessly typing into my PKMS is not really fun and exciting.

Well then what is fun and exciting?

It's been a while since I woke up really excited to be me. I remember when I was 10 years old waking up on my birthday and being excited for every moment that was about to pass. I miss that feeling back in my life and I want people around me to feel the same. I want people to be able to say, "I enjoy being me". What would need to change for this to be true?

  • Health Optimization for more Energy
  • Working on a specific quest with other people
  • Being radically articulate about my goals
  • Having an actual plan for the day (Routine)
  • Doing meaningful work
  • Meaningfully socially engaging
  • Making an impact within a community
  • Islander Training

Well what is the procedure for articulating a quest? Well wouldn't it be nice if my Tulpa Manager was up and running to I could interrogate my friends tulpa's to first guess their quests then check with them if that's what their actual goals were.

Well sounds like my quest is to get my Tulpa Manager up and running. That is something I can do in the next blog post with the Heilmeier Catechism.

Psyop Yourself

I am starting to realize that I may be lacking the right people in my life and I don't optimally engage with the people I already have in my life.

Now that I am actually articulating What I want with some influence from Design Heuristics my "perspective" on my life is changing. I realize I can no longer wait for people to come to me, I must go to other people. The ability to become excited about ones own life relies on managing ones perspective.... this will need to be revisited.

Important Tutorials

There is this nice phrase, Talk does not cook rice. I have been cognitively masturbating to what question engine might be rather than building something I can actually talk to my friends, family, and anons though. So here is my list of technology and skills I need for a proper POC. What is this POC exactly, well my lack of ability to answer the question, What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon. or which document to link here showcases that I need to practice articulating myself a lot more.
