Turned out great. So nice and neat. What did you use for power supply? You think a CIOKS would fit ? I think I’m going to try building one this size. Just looks perfect

Digital illustrated drawing of the BOSS DM-2w delay pedal. The pedal enclosure is red with black and silver control knobs, black text and a pink, grey/green fade background.

5 Things Every Creative Person Should Consider (Inspired By Wendell Berry)
5 Things Every Creative Person Should Consider (Inspired By Wendell Berry) YouTube video by Joshua Heath Scott

When he’s not busy making JHS guitar effects pedals, Joshua Heath Scott philosophizes. In this 15-minute spoken-word piece, he opines on the work of Wendell Berry, the value of periodically stepping away from technology, and a few principles that can benefit creative people and our practice.

And then it starts to contrasts on how Seneca’s approach was different to Epictetus. Seneca believed that we should take β€œbad” events and use them as a learning tool/a challenge for us. While Epictetus was more about β€œjust focus on your own judgement and emotions”

Give it a go! Great read!!

so I think, I’m still reading, that’s kind of what the book is leading to? It’s that we should aim to control our emotions and how they interact with events that interact with us. As in, if we can keep our emotions at bay, the β€œfeedback” we project is healthier?
