Most great written masterpieces have an introduction. This warrants mine that is merely aspiring to be a shadow of one of them, to have one too, since by not having one I will block myself the way that most great works have taken, by the logical principle, of (depending on who you ask) of contrapositives or modus tollens.
About the Chronicles
These Chronicles may in the future contain many of my raw, unprocessed thoughts, ranging from philosophical ideas and mathematical conjectures or even, if I strike luck for once, proofs, to rambles about personal sorrows and book or movie reviews. I will try to share the whole of my mind here. That being said, you may have noticed, dear reader, whose existence I for now deem unlikely, that this doesn't seem to contain any structure, which is absolutely correct. The Chronicles will be written similarly to a diary, and mine ill-fated attempts of diaries did not even aspire to contain any structure. So do not expect any structure from the contents of the posts or the posting frequency itself, since my thoughts do not fit these criteria, albeit I will try to pack connected thoughts into singular posts.
As said my thoughts here will be rather raw and may be found stupid upon any inspection led by a clear mind from less than a kilometer away, so constructive, well justified criticisms of the ideas that I write here are more than welcome. What is not welcome here are criticisms of myself, based on the things that I can not change, like my nationality, or logically invalid arguments. I will delete such comments. Lastly I know that my grammar or spelling are not perfect, but these Chronicles are not written for me to train my spelling or grammar, but to write down my thoughts, my philosophies.
About Myself
Enough about the Chronicles themselves for now, I should probably introduce myself: I am a teenager on the younger side. Nevertheless I consider myself to be postpubescent. I currently live in the capital of Germany, the city of bears, one could say, but I did not live here since my birth, since I was born in Moscow, Russia*; and I came to Germany, at an age that was on directly on the edge between leaving kindergarten and beginning visiting school. Making friends and meeting people was incredibly hard then, since my knowledge of German at the time was basically non-existent and it was very hard to integrate myself into a society of peers, being the cherished only child. But this story does not fit (on the fields) of this post.
When creating these Chronicles, three quarters of a year ago, my singule most dear passion was mathematics, but now it to share its spotlight with a newfound passion in philosophy and maybe in Latin, a language, which fascinates me, but also sadly often confuses me to a degree of inconceivability. Mathematics and philosophy are also the two subjects I most consider for majors. Apart from these passions of the mind I also have a strong love for singing followed by a non-constant, yet recurring interest in Speedcubing (quickly solving Rubik's cubes and other twisty puzzles. Fun fact: you can do that with group theory). I also should mention that I do ballroom dancing, albeit only since half a year, so my skills are not worth speaking about. I also play many video games and have a strong enjoyment of global strategy games made by the studio "Paradox", in particular Hearts of Iron IV, which I have played for too many hours.
Also briefly on the name of the Chronicles: It combines the fact that my current place of residence, like my place of birth, has been considered to be populated by Barbarians in the ancient times and my passion for math**. This creates an oxymoron I dare to consider playful.
You might have noticed, that the language, in which I am writing the posts on here is very peculiar, by which I mean unusual and sometimes a bit old fashioned. I would like to use this type of language on the most posts here, since it allows me to express myself precisely, or to be fair with myself, maybe it just makes me feel smarter. The reason that I am writing this paragraph, is to warn you dear reader, that I am not absolutely certain that my expression will stay the same, since depending on my emotional state my way of speaking, or, in this case writing, changes.
Although I have much more to say, or rather write, I sadly have to end this post here, since I am getting slowly charmed by Morpheus, while tomorrow is a long day. To answer the obviously arising question of why to not simply continue writing tomorrow, is because I am afraid that my steam will just run out, and I will never finish this post, which, judging by observation is very likely.
You, dear reader, the possibility of whose existence I still am sceptical about, will hopefully see my next post, if not already out, within this week. For now I wish you a joyful existence.
P.S. Please consider the fact that since I am still trying to understand what I actually want my Chronicles to be, things stated here about the Chronicles may not be true after some time, since the Chronicles may change
* Since I mentioned my nationality it is my obligation, in the name of many Russians, to denounce the so-named "special military operation", which is in fact a devastating war, tearing apart Ukraine and its people.
** I actually considered renaming the Chronicles and the account to philosophical barbarian, since I feel the philosophical part of my nature will prevail during the writing of posts, but I consider the name philosophical barbarian to sound ridiculous, even more than mathematical barbarian.
