I have a new article just published in Medium about what I've learned about learning a language. 9-minute read.

One goal of my learning Esperanto (& the same would hold true for learning any language; I picked Esperanto because it was designed to be easy to learn) is to observe the process of learning: how my mind reacts & changes as it develops a new skill.

I just posted about one thing I have now encountered several times: hitting a (temporary) wall, when I find I have to take a break of a day or two before I can continue. Here's the most recent:

We know that regular exercise reduces the risk of Alzheimer's. Now the likely protective mechanism has been found:

Many people underestimate the rapidity of AI's improvement. Two recent examples, one medical and one in theoretical physics, show how quickly AI is improving.

What will AI be by the end of this year? Unimaginably capable.

Read this article: https://shumer.dev/something-big-is-happening

The positive feedback loop — AI being used to build better AI — is well underway. Positive feedback loops lead to explosive growth/change.

It's easy to see how Trump ran into the ground and bankrupted all those businesses he owned. He's doing the same thing to the US and also working to destroy other countries as well: Ukraine, Canada, the EU, and so on.

I started learning Esperanto for 2 reasons:

1. To find out what being fluent in another language felt like. Esperanto was the obvious choice: easy to learn, plus greatly helps in learning another language — see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paderborn_method)

2. To observe the mental process: what happened along the way.

I just figured out why I am so easily distracted when practicing listening skills, and a workaround: https://leisureguy.ca/2026/02/08/stubborn-subconscious/

It's telling that, after shooting Alex Pretti to death, the agents fled the scene. That is way outside the paradigm of law enforcement, but consistent with gang behavior.

Mark Carney speech at Davos is extraordinarily impressive: clear-sighted, pragmatic, specific, realistic, and visionary.
