"My new system is, simply, no system at all. I write what I think. I delete what I don’t need. I don’t capture everything. I don’t try to. I read what I feel like. I think in conversation, in movement, in context. I don’t build a second brain. I inhabit the first."

Reminds me of the Sarah Manguso line from the book 300 Arguments:

"The first beautiful songs you hear tend to stay beautiful because better than beauty, which is everywhere, is the memory of first discovering beauty"

I write about tech + humans + philosophy. Skeptical optimist, EA aligned, building internet businesses.
