Hi there. I am Poly. Not my real name. It's short for Poly-math.

Which means I aspire to be a polymath. Not only in terms of academics, but also in physical skills and <insert domain available for human exploitation>.

Some particular things I am very passionate about: mathematics, *nix, FOSS, working out ∧ running, reading, philosophy, teaching, writing, trying out weird stuff.

What's happening right now?

I am preparing for my highschool finals (I am in my senior year). And trying to get into a very elite math university in my country. But though I love mathematics, the realisation was super, super late and I am missing out on a fundamental level. I have to grind like my butt is on fire.

My manifesto of living

• Delay gratification.
• Happiness comes from deep, long, focused, and single-tasked sessions, and not shallow drifting. Deep work is what matters.
• Only a thought we've /lived/ has any value.
• To live without distractions, to stop and notice.
• To pick the simplest solution and discard the rest.
• High effort should lead to high yields, else we don't do it.
• Embrace boredom.
• /Be/. Being cognition gives you the state of happiness.
• Don't stop when you're tired. Stop when you're done.

Connect

Hey, I am on Gemini for a reason - I find social media absolutely disgusting.

So I encourage you to use e-mail (the only option as of now; that too only for folks at ~green):

poly@tilde.green

No XMPP for now. Maybe later.
