Thinking about thinking
Thinking about thinking is a labour of love and the leisure of connecting ideas in my mind.
It's essential to be non-productive in this way to not get trapped in complacency, discover my limitations and push that much harder. It's delivered as an intimate newsletter released semi-frequently. It's not always a smooth read, but it's always thoughtful.
