Rethinking My Own Constraints
(draft) Applying my framework to myself.
Here's a starting list:
Market perception
- Broad Appeal vs Finding Your Audience
- The Biggie
- Don't turn a bunch of people off
- Steer clear of controversies vs. Let it all out
- Avoid politics and religion
Self-management
- Self-promotion; oy.
- I love optionality.
- The best Is the enemy of the good
- Curiosity: Asset & liability.
- Chi: spontaneous conversations vs talking to the cam
- Ego: Is Design from Trust that big?
Infrastructure
- TheBrain scares some folks
- TheBrain only recently added GenAI, big time.
- GenAI + my Brain scares me
- Until now, only I have added everything to my Brain
- Stepping across that threshold; ingesting, melding with AI
- My Cyborg future
- Cross-posting, what medium to use, a too-elaborate process
- No duplication!
- Better storytelling tools
- Collaborative writing and thinking tools
- NeoBooks. Changing how we share information.
Scale and complexity
- Everything is deeply intertwingled: Changing a System of Systems (on complexity)
- I want to grow my container. Not sure what that means.
