"Let's Say": Third-Person Speculative Self-Analysis | About
Written in September 20, 2025

What kind of person would write 3.5 million words for what he calls his "autobiography-journal" in two years?

Let's say they're someone who mostly stays in a room all day everyday, going downstairs to get food, to take a shower, and to go outside to a cafe once a month.

Let's change it up. Let's say they go outside 1.7 times a week and spend their time at the computer desk all day everyday but in the living room downstairs beside the window where they can see the sunlit street outside. They still do write prolifically, but not they are post-3.5-million-words.

Let's say this "post-" man now has a personal website where he puts everything out there for close friends and fellow family members to see. This encompasses everything as he knows it, but with limits: fiction writings, non-fiction writings, media consumed and reviews and analyses of them, meta-journal, memory excavations, list of places travelled and a passage accompanying each travel date (with censored places but general words like "cafe" and "mall" and "the city"), radical introspections, dreams, and a very detailed documentation of what they've been doing in the "Now". This encompasses writings from many years ago, but comes primarily from recency.

Let's say this person is also a digital artist, a learning multi-instrumentalist, a singer, and someone who makes songs on the spot with his trained voice and a guitar. Let's say that he has only been taken writing seriously 6 years ago and that it is not even the first, the second, or the third hobby he adopted.

Let's say his first hobby was coding Roblox games. Second hobby was guitar. Third hobby was singing. And then he combined guitar and singing and started making songs on the spot. Then, many years later, he learns writing, and that is now 6 years ago.

Let's say that even now, he is slowly writing down an analysis/memory excavation for the many media he consumed and the countless places and events he's gone when he was growing up and in recent years. Even if he is "post-", he still has so much that he has yet to write down, but the difference is that he has already written so much that whatever he's writing right now is "on top" or "additional" rather than core. It feels ike the satisfaction of a master.

I think a better word for this person would be the "post-, closure" man.

Who is he now? What kind of skills has he gained? How does he carry himself? How does he appear? Before (before even the start of the 3.5 million words) and after (post-, closure)? 

What would be the first impression? Let's say that we're some random in a cafe, and we're seeing him. Let's say he wears basically the same outfit every time, which is unsurprising for his background.

What if he brings a headphones, smartphone, laptop, wired mouse, mousepad, USB-C monitor which he places on top of the closed laptop as his only and main monitor, and wired keyboard? And he brings this and stays there all day every time he goes to the cafe.

Let's say he wears a mustard-yellow corduroy jacket, a lavender-purple athleisure shirt, white cotton athleisure trousers, and expensive white and violet Nike basketball sports shoes.

Let's say that every time he is in the cafe (which is almost different every time from a long list of branches), he reads 19th century texts from Google Books and actively takes notes the whole day, squeezing in moments where he does reflectively write.

But when he's at home, he doesn't read books. He writes and watches Youtube videos, Netflix, reads web comics, and spends much time working on his website, which means he will do things like look at Google Maps or go through Facebook photos or whatever. This is where he truly writes prolifically rather than taking active notes.

what kind of person is this? what is his general background outside of the writing? How can someone even sustain and accomplish this? It feels like we're looking at something without the context. We're seeing the 3.5 million words, but we don't know why or how or what led to him doing that in the first place. We see the post-, closure self, but we don't know anything beyond that. What kind of person is this? But not just on the surface, not just what we can gather obviously when we're just taking what's right in front of us. Let's think about it for a second. Who is he really? He didn't spawn into existence like this.

What if he grew up very outgoing and was always part of a community and spent most of his time in outdoors, community events, including literary fests, music fests, sports fests, seminars, conferences, concerts, camps, and many other kinds? What if he spent most of his youth volunteering? What if he spent several years home-schooled but did go to formal schooling for the most part? What if he was very social? What if he was the only younger person that went to all of these events and places even if most of the people there were older? What if he would jump at any chance to go outside? What if all of his time spent being creative in his youth was centered around close friends, community friends, and family? Whether it be singing or coding Roblox games? What if he is very embodied and concrete? He grew up very athletic and physical, carrying all kinds of heavy things all the time and being the example for the kid who did the chores and obeyed tasks so diligently? What if he played all kinds of sports and did all kinds of physical outdoors things like team games, hiking, and urban-walking for hours? What if he knows what it's like to be in very uncomfortable environments like out in the sun, in a cramped bus, in cluttered rooms, and in crowded streets? What if he was never really an abstract, text, and online kind of person? He was very much a community kind of person? What if he knew over a thousand people because of his constant participation in regional community events? What if he had a very good childhood and youth because of all of these experiences? What if he spoke, sang, and played guitar on stage a lot, in diverse places and crowds? What if he was never a loner? What if his entire life centered around this tight-knit world? What if he was exposed to all kinds of socioeconomic environments and people, communities, and families from all kinds of backgrounds, whether rural areas, squatter areas, rich mall areas, rich neighborhoods, lower income neighborhoods, and countless houses and homes?
