a curated collection of novel and obscure blogs I read, and have read, over the years
status: Rough
Status Indicator
The status indicator reflects the maturity of the content:
• rough — Initial thoughts, unstructured
• growing — Being actively developed
• evergreen — Stable, well-developed content
• withered — No longer being maintained
This helps readers understand the completeness of the content.
·
certainty: possible
Confidence Rating
The confidence tag expresses how well-supported the content is, or how likely its overall ideas are right. This uses a scale from "impossible" to "certain", based on the Kesselman List of Estimative Words:
1. "certain"
2. "highly likely"
3. "likely"
4. "possible"
5. "unlikely"
6. "highly unlikely"
7. "remote"
8. "impossible"
Even ideas that seem unlikely may be worth exploring if their potential impact is significant enough.
·
importance: 5/10
Importance Rating
The importance rating distinguishes between trivial topics and those which might change your life. Using a scale from 0-10, content is ranked based on its potential impact on:
- the reader
- the intended audience
- the world at large
For example, topics about fundamental research or transformative technologies would rank 9-10, while personal reflections or minor experiments might rank 0-1.

About this blogroll
A personal collection of blogs curated from years of reading across philosophy, mathematics, technology, literature, and the obscure corners of the internet. Each entry represents a voice I've found worth returning to. The list is maintained and updated as I discover new writers and retire dormant links. Topics range from theoretical computer science and formal logic to film criticism and personal essays. If you write a blog and think it might belong here, you can submit it for consideration at krisyotam.com/surveys/submit-blog.
