Currently under construction, I am actively trying to set up a space that showcases everything I am working on, and interested in. If you’re ever reading something on here, don’t forget to put my playlist on shuffle. I was probably listening to it while writing.

I am Argo, a creative focused person working on a “grand design”, my love letter to the internet. The way I see it, technology is going to skyrocket in the future, and I need to do the prep work before it does.
If you want to learn more about me, I recommend checking out my liked songs embedded at the bottom of this page. I wholeheartedly believe that music is extremely telling of who a person is and the way they function. Over the past few years I have developed a strong philosophy and outlook on life.
When I was eight years old, my father committed suicide. It drastically changed the path I expected my life to follow. It took years of healing and understanding, but I finally feel as if I am in a comfortable space. I discovered the lectures of Alan Watts and did a bit of a deep dive into the surrounding philosophy that he explores. As well as this I began a “Mental Journey”. In an attempt to understand myself in a deeper way, I aimed to reach a borderline subconscious discussion with my id. To some it may sound strange, but allowing the id to identity itself and speak as if it were it's own, standalone person, has helped me make headway in understanding my sense of self. I thought I understood myself. I thought I understood what it means to be alive, and what it means to live.
I still don’t.
For a while I have had an obsession with cyberpunk, time travel, and reality breaking sci-fi media. Think the likes of Interstellar, Outer wilds, Neuromancer, Steins Gate, Everything (the game) etc. this type of media has had a strong influence on my own ideas and theories. While being mostly entertainment outlets, they have also opened a space for discussion on interesting thought experiments and theoretically possibilities.
I have also been working on a small writing project called “Coexistence with Continuity”, in which I attempt to discuss my own philosophy and outlook on life in a more meaningful and complete way. The more thought goes into it, the more I want it to be fundamental to the “grand design”.
The greatest lie ever told is self. ~Argo
