Some reflections on 6 years of doing these annual write-ups: 1. Writing them has changed my life. I say this a lot but I think too many people feel like their thoughts or contributions aren't valuable, so they don't put them out in the world. Either that or they know they have valuable things to say but they're too scared to say them. I was nervous af the first time I published these. That nervousness is now my north star. If I don't feel it, I know that whatever I'm saying isn't all that important; it doesn't get at some deeper truth. If what you're saying is already obvious, then there's no need to say it. So by default, your contributions will be controversial. 🧵
