Journey of Encouragement: Embracing Growth on Medium

Written on

Chapter 1: Reflecting on My Recent Activity

In the last month, I’ve seen some encouraging trends in my Medium activity:

Recent activity overview on Medium

To provide a comparison, here’s a look at my activity from the prior month:

Previous month's activity overview

At first glance, the bars in the current graph seem to tower higher, but it’s essential to not be misled! Medium adjusts the scaling of these graphs, as evident in the first graph where the maximum height is 150, while the second graph peaks at just 50. Hence, the scaling factor has increased by three. This rate of growth is commendable, motivating me to continue sharing my work on Medium, as the once-distant sound of crickets is now overshadowed by an enthusiastic audience.

Moreover, I’m delighted to observe that some of my more technical pieces are resonating well. This signals a thoughtful and sophisticated readership on Medium, allowing me to delve into intricate subjects without diluting the content. Unlike some publications that cater to a lower reading level, Medium upholds a higher standard, and I strive to meet it.

Section 1.1: Visualizing the Growth

Now, let’s focus on visualization. Take another look at the second graph, which appears relatively stagnant, depicting a period of dormancy. In contrast, the first graph shows a clear upward trend, especially in the latter half. It’s during these last two weeks that the most significant growth has occurred, which is precisely the encouragement referenced in the title of this piece.

Notice that total views surged from approximately 1100 to about 2000 over the past month, with most of this increase happening in the last fortnight. This development is promising, and I am committed to producing quality articles on mathematics, science, and critiques of pseudoscience. My goal is to ensure that my readers are well-informed and enlightened.

Subsection 1.1.1: The Algorithm Challenge

Despite the positive trends, I have concerns regarding Medium’s algorithm, which seems to favor showcasing only my latest articles to the broader audience. Are my earlier pieces now deemed irrelevant? Absolutely not; they remain timely and pertinent. I encourage you to explore my past writings—investing time in them is worthwhile as I strive to share intellectual content.

Chapter 2: Embracing Technology and Creativity

In my exploration of technology, I utilized Bing AI Drawing to visualize various concepts. For instance, I asked it to depict Ba’al in the underworld, and it produced four intriguing images. Here are two of them:

Additionally, I requested an image of a heavenly choir singing to God, and here’s the standout result:

Can you spot God in the image?

For a whimsical take on pseudoscience, I asked Bing to illustrate a flat Earth revolving around the sun:

Although the AI’s interpretation was amusing, it occasionally defaults to depicting a round Earth.

Lastly, I inquired about Atlas supporting the Earth on his shoulders, and this is the result:

It’s amusing to think that Levi Strauss might have existed during ancient Greek times!

Thank you for taking the time to read my reflections.
