My RSS Feed Subscription Lists
I share my personal RSS feed subscription list that I've had from January 31st, 2021 to December 28th, 2023.
It has been a difficult decision to come to terms with. I am shifting gears and will no longer passively let in various content. What I mean is that I will be directing my own knowledge consumption. I have so many directions to go in just from what I already have in my Obsidian vault. I’m pivoting from knowledge accumulation to knowledge deployment. When I was younger, high school and college me, I was trying to keep up with whatever was published. I wasn’t an expert in anything and I had to let stuff come to me. I didn’t know what was out there until I got out there. Well, now I’ve been out here for quite some time, 5 years? My sample size for figurative content is wildly apparent now. I feel like I am ready to start deliberating on matters of my own. I am moving away from trying to learn ‘just in case’ knowledge. If you’re curious and monomaniacal like me, it can become exhausting to deceive yourself with the idea that you’re ‘keeping up.’ In a sense, the rss feeds could be compared to a scholarly highbrow version of tiktok - the very essence of what I was trying to escape. In essence, both processes are disrupting immersion by rotating around various different topics (generally).
Now, I am prioritizing living in the moment - being best equipped for any circumstance based on what I’ve learned over the past 5 years since I’ve started this driven-pursuit. For myself and for others, if you’re wondering what content shaped my thinking, I am providing the .opml file of the rss feeds that I’ve subscribed to over the years from the start of 2021 to the end of 2023.
I’ve used Reeder 5 as my app of choice and have loved it dearly. Although, you should be able to import the .opml file into any RSS feed reader.
I’m looking forward to the change of pace from knowledge consumption to knowledge creation in 2024 and beyond!
