Hi there, welcome to my site. My name is Ergest and I am deeply curious about the world. My whole life I have been fascinated with and have explored a variety of complex ideas, concepts and topics and this website is a reflection of that exploration. I'm also passionate about teaching others what I have learned, hence the purpose of this blog:To simplify complex ideas for curious people.

Here's a little bit about me:

• I'm originally from Albania, currently living in the US
• I studied computer science in college and love working with data
• I'm a generalist and quite happy about it
• Favorite book: Wardley Mapping
• Favorite writer: Morgan Housel
• Favorite music: Mostly EDM, some pop and rock, some metal occasionally

Here's a list of my favorite essays on this site:

• Understanding the Data Landscape Through Wardley Maps
• The Making of a Self-Educated Child Genius
• Why Unstructured Learning is the Secret to a Lucrative Career
• How to Get Lucky - The Elements of Serendipity
