The Punchline

Hello. I mark all my posts as unlisted, with this being the only exception.

Every once in a while I’ll have some thoughts on something, then write about them. That way, whenever something I’ve thought about becomes relevant to conversation, I can just link my conversational partner(s) to a thing I wrote, rather than regurgitate a litany of pre-digested thoughts. They get up to speed efficiently, and I go a little less stir-crazy.

However, no one needs to (or, for that matter, deserves to) have the contents of my brain spill out onto them. The best way to have meaningful conversation about something you’ve been thinking about is to motivate the ideas from direct context. These thoughts are put to better use in action, and not lying around gathering dust.
