Welcome to my digital garden 🪴
This is a space where I can work to develop my ideas and thinking in the public view. If you find these notes interesting, I hope you’ll offer corrections, insights and new leads that will make my thinking stronger. If you contact me, I will do my best to respond.
It’s human nature that as soon as we think we know something, we stop thinking about it and start defending it. I want to avoid that, so I regard everything I “know” as a working hypothesis. In these notes, I make assertions (creativity is the essence of being human) and write imperative sentences (treat others with respect). It might sound as though I’m trying to sound authoritative or I’m just being bossy, but there’s more to it. Expressing what I think I know in direct language allows me to look at it more objectively. When I reread it later, I listen to my intuition: does this idea ring true, or is it a bit off? I encourage you to treat my words (and your own) with the same scrutiny.
