I should blog and publish with [[Obsidian App]] because it helps me to keep myself honest. It helps me to remember that whatever I write could be read by someone else, so it should be erudite, rigerous, well argued. It is also a memnonic, so has other huge benefits. I can do this with anything that resonates with me. If it has resonated then it must be of interest, which means it must coalesce around me in some way. Yes I have eclectic and wide-ranging interests, but what I am interested in and then what resonates must surely filter what I re-blog. It also nucleates ideas and interests around a singular thing- me. Writing in this way is good for me. It also allows me to discover how good I am at reading, writing and comprehension, and how well formed my arguments are. I will look back in a year and realise that this very note is poorly written, based on poor comprehension and not well argued. That's good: [[True nobility is being superior to your former self]]. ## Links - [The Memex Method.
