About a TV series I recently watched

 Lights out Alice!

As mentioned previously I have a serious problem with binging on OTT platforms on random content just to drown out the noise in my head and procrastinate on whatever it is I am supposed to work on. This is a big issue, especially because there is zero point of me wasting my life behind some random content when I could do countless other things but I still do it. I do it because it is a bad habit but it is a bad habit that has taken a hold of me and I am unable to control myself. I subconsciously chose sabotaging myself when I have the time and then loathing myself when I run out of it. Yes, I think this is the case with most others but I don't really care for two reasons. First, I am not other people and second I don't care what the rest of the world does with their time, it is rest of the world's problem. I know that if I really want to more than just words, which I currently am, I need to be DOING shit and not just talking big shit. Plans amount to nothing if there is no action. Regret over wasting time on binge watching mindless shit to numb the noise in your head doesn't make you better.

Add to this the fact that I am a thrill junkie and a needy guy. Those terms are not meant to be used in their usual sense in my case though. I like the thrill of finding new stuff or doing things my way, exploring and treading new waters without previous baggage to worry about (yes, note the choice of the word, "baggage") and the thrill it brings. I like cutting it close on a deadline and going to useless lengths to prove pointless points and meaningless conclusions. I like deep diving on subjects others would just gloss over and also thinking of every case scenario that others would loathe going into, which would be wise of them since most of my case scenarios are based on incorrect assumptions that rarely come to life. Also, as the last few lines would indicate, I just love going off on tangents. Coming to the needy portion, I think another problem that adds on to my previous post on my inability to open up about myself is the fact that I only feel okay in meeting up with people when there is something I can help them with or at least I think I can help them with. Do I feel like I need to have some sort of upper hand at every conversation? Some need to always be the bigger guy at everything? I really hope that subconsciously I am not trying to do this because this would be very sad indeed.


Ah my tangent-ing ability, how thy moveth me from my point to some stranger's, in so much as I now not know what was mine to begin with or if it was always meant to slip away...

Coming back, I wanted to talk about Lincoln Lawyer and then connect it with Netflix using over 70000 attributes to determine which kind of audience with resonate or be interested in this content. This got me curious as to what can be these data pointers and how would I fare on them? What's the quantifier? What's the qualifier? How is the priority assigned? Who overlooks over the quantifiers and attributes and how correlation of 70000 attributes is done by the Netflix team. Even though it might be obvious to use AI/ ML or whatever buzz word that is doing the rounds these days, I am more interested in actually understanding how it works!

Sleep tight Alice!
