Why shapelessrodent?
I'm a polymath; I would hate to tie myself to a single discipline, field of knowledge, set of studies or the like. I want to explore everything this ever-changing world has to offer and I will never stop learning because I want to know it all (even if it is impossible).
I am shapeless in my pursuit of knowledge and how I use it to make the world a better place.
That and... I like rodents. But I believe you could've figured that one out pretty quickly on your own.
Interests
It's hard to pin down a specific set of interests because I love almost everything that this world has to offer. The idea of being alive and being able to transform and create everything makes me feel euphoric.
Some things stand out, however:
- I love messing around with digital systems in all their shapes and sizes. Driving them to their limits, designing them, taking them apart and putting them back in place, testing them. Electronics, computer science, you name it.
- The ocean is one of my main interests. It's so big, so vast; it holds creatures with such amazing and great abilities and yet we know VERY little about them. I want to fund and participate in oceanic exploration. With the current levels of contamination, is it possible that creatures we never knew about could have gone extinct?
- Baking is an art that I have a lot of respect for because it requires patience and dedication to get right while also providing millions with food and warmth. As such, I bake and I love bread.
- Music feels magical because it can have a very powerful effect on the living beings that perceive it. As someone whose emotional state can be heavily regulated through music, I like exploring how music affects our mood and helps our energy fluctuate.
Career
I'm a roboticist, specifically, a Robotics and Digital Systems Engineer.
I chose this as my base career because I believe that robotics and automation are key disciplines in giving people peace of mind.
- Reduces human error
- Handles tedious and repetitive tasks
- Increases the safety of dangerous tasks
- Allows people to delegate work and focus on themselves
- Trivializes problems that would be difficult for humans
Furthermore, modern robotics, while still maturing, was built on hundreds of years of history which, by learning from past mistakes, provides stronger standarization and less historical hiccups (which I believe every discipline should work on). This makes it so progress is both simpler, faster and solves more complex problems which allows for better progress.
Finally, it comprises a myriad of disciplines which to me is perfect because it means more knowledge.
