Hey Legend,
How comes it that our memories are good enough to retain even the minutest details of what has befallen us, but not to recollect how many times we have recounted them to the same person?"
~ La Rochefoucauld, Maxims, 1665
Whether it was as an educator or an entertainer, my continuous re-conveyance of 📝context—to a growing audience—was a major catalyst for 📝Mythos One.
Its medium of 📝Nonlinear Communication draws from a library of 📝memos; each being a 📝Single Source of Truth. The challenge with authoring these digital assets is that truths are not originated from a single source.
It takes two to speak the truth—one to speak and another to hear."
~ 📝Henry David Thoreau
This is why my writing is, 📝By And Large, cultivated as a response to dialogue (and why I'm so keen to cultivate those conversations). As was demonstrated in an all-too-relatable manner in 📝Bandersnatch, mapping one's mind without the reflections of others has... concerning implications for one's mental health.
So far, 📝Table Talk has been an effective means of co-creating truth. As fun as it is to invite 📝Friends of Resonance over for conversations, each recording necessitates hours editing and writing in solitude. It's not entirely... scalable.
Two weeks ago, 📝Tobin Slaven manifested with an elegant solution. He shared an article titled 'Seeking the Productive Life' written by the famed computer scientist, physicist, and entrepreneur, 📝Stephen Wolfram.
In it, Wolfram deconstructs his "personal infrastructure" to share how—for 28 years—he has been a remote CEO; seeing the office only a few times per year.
What captured my interest was how he segments his thinking.
"On the right is my 'public display' monitor that I'll be screensharing most of the day. On the left is my 'private display' monitor that's got my email, messages, and other things not relevant to the meetings."
The physical differentiation of space between 'public' and 'private' seemed, to me, a way to mitigate 📝Decision Fatigue when writing. As I read the purpose for Wolfram's dual-screen setup, I let out an audible murmur of 📝resonance.
"For the past year or so, I've been livestreaming many of our software design meetings—and there are now 250 hours of archived screensharing, all from that right monitor of mine."
Replicating his 📝Thinking In Public seemed like 📝The Next Logical Step.
So... fast forward through a few days of research, 📝Strategically Shitty testing, "is this crazy?" calls to solicit reflections, and (eventually) Amazon orders...
The 📝Journey To One: Livestream will now broadcast on 📝Twitch.
I am grateful for 📝Ali Spagnola and 📝Robbe Richman for being guinea pigs. Both were fantastic catalysts for conversations that were equal parts productive and fun. Unfortunately, the recordings were lost due to incorrect settings and technical malfunctions. Thankfully, with practice, Tobin and I's chat survived.
If you feel drawn to think in public and co-create truth with me, reply to this email or join our (also new) 📝Journey To One: Chat and let's find a topic that resonates with you while serving to 📝Elevate The Human Frequency.
📝Build cool shit and change the world.
