Hi I'm louis030195 (Louis Beaumont is my name in the game), a carbon-based bipedal life form descended from an ape 🐒. Welcome to my second-brain (or third, fourth, nth). This is where I think in public and digest my shower thoughts. Usually you'll find on X, Substack, in-person, the latest version of my thought. In other words these are v0, v0.1, v0.2, versions of my thoughts. > Civilization progresses by the number of operations it can perform without conscious effort. > — **Whitehead** > It's good to learn from your mistakes.
