THE ALTITUDE

             The Altitude is an ongoing project that focuses on teaching a thinking style that operates on first principles. First principles is reductionism where we isolate a system to it's smallest conceptual meaning and build it up so that we can shift from knowing how things work to understanding them. Though the concept behind blog post and The Mind Project may very, each writing is formed using the same fundamentals so that we can build a consistent philosophy and apply it to our mind and every day life. The goal of this blog is to document my own personal self development, so that others can follow my footsteps and learn from my experience. Other goals include building a consistent philosophy that is science based and relies on following the nature of reality efficiently.

A few note-able things about myself.  I prioritize self studies of quantum physics and music. I have spent the last 8 years developing my communication skills through both scholarly and creative writing. I have written over 1000 songs and have used those skills to pivot into writing about the things I learn. I focus on a conceptual based learning system because I believe the world is dynamic and math is linear. Nothing on this blog nor any future writings of mine will be done by AI. I believe that through all things there is both idea and intention. Because of this I will always use my mind and intentions to bring you the best and most sincere product that I can. Finally, my name is Ryell Cross Smith and I am committed to discovering truth. My intentions are to bring you that truth, not argue everchanging perspectives.
