FAQ 1
The CCC, or the Cultivated Code of Conduct, is a document where I clearly define the rules, principles, behaviours, moral values and other standards I aim to live by.
At some point or another, we've all experienced moments where we've failed to keep a promise to ourselves, whether it's to quit doing something or to do it more often. To prevent this from happening again, I decided to make such promises binding by writing them down in the "official" document.
As stated in one of the introductory paragraphs:
[...] the CCC is a living document, subject to change and growth as I see fit, [...]
So the "Cultivated" part emphasizes the fact that this document embodies a set of standards which have been progressively developed and refined over time.
The primary reason lies in the precision that a legal style affords; detailed rules and stringent requirements mitigate the possibility of circumventing the system. Furthermore, the considerable time and effort required to create such documents inherently enhance their value, fostering a stronger commitment to adherence. Also it looks cool.
To increase the probability of actually following it. I particularly dislike hypocrisy; therefore, if other people are aware of the rules I am following, they can call me out when I don't. I also believe that it could provide others with a clearer understanding of who I am and what kind of person I aspire to be.
However, the fact that this document is available to people beyond my close friends and relatives, means that I will have to censor out some sensitive parts which I'd rather not disclose to the entire world.

These questions have been frequently asked by no one. I am writing this before even making the CCC public. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ↩
