I was looking through my old newsletters to see what I’d already written about, and was surprised to find some decent writing in there – a lot better than these 100 posts in 100 days!

The newsletter was called “Let’s Get Psychophysical” and out once a week (maybe that’s why the quality was a bit better than the daily posts.) This was back in 2021 and can’t remember why I stopped sending them, so let’s assume laziness.

But I might resurrect the same format I used to structure those emails.

The rule was I had to take 5 different things I was reading, thinking or talking about that week, and then somehow work them all in together, integrate them into a coherent whole, making connections and seeing what new insights emerged.

It was a useful practice for disciplining my thoughts and learning to use my brain a bit – instead of just consuming random shit and moving on to the next thing.

There are a few throwaway comments and hot takes scattered throughout, which I should probably expand into essays of their own. But we both know I won’t so all the links are below (in reverse order.)
