Corpus is a collection, group, or body of writings. A collection of works on a single topic, or by a single author.
I propose a Corpus Proprius is the aggregation of all the things we know, things we wrote about, ideas we had, observations we observed.
Everything.

Yes to this except I’m definitely enjoying a variety of food!

Cultivate curiosity. To truly grow throughout your life, embrace the inquisitiveness of a child. Curious people are never bored, turning life into an endless exploration of joy.

Stiegler mentions Adorno here, whom I made a note about in Capacities last week.

🌀 Agnes Martin - My Rabbit Hole of Exploration
Here is the answer to the question I asked in the first post. Agnes Martin discovered that painting was all she needed to be fulfilled in this life. I wonder at what age in life did she discover this? Was it an innate knowing or did she struggle?
I envy people like this who know what their “thing” is. I’m 30 years old and it frustrates me deeply that I don’t have a strong affiliation with one thing. Whether that’s writing, or reading, painting or playing an instrument. I’m starting to wonder if I need to try new things?
What I do enjoy - building workflows with digital tools, solving problems by creating systems does not feel like an artistic thing!
I can build and perfect a Notion or Tana workflow for hours until a solution is found but something feels like it’s missing. Maybe it’s because it’s not tangible like painting?
I don’t know but I think I need to pick up pottery - maybe that will be my thing.
Update 1/4/25 9:15 pm - This quote also reminds me of Hirayama from Perfect Days. He too discovered something far more precious than material accumulation.
You know, tools, methods, and systems - they’re all a reflection of your thinking. So without understanding the underlying principles, without understanding why things work, they won’t save you.
