Thanks Daniel. When I write I don’t ever think about it as CONTENT. I don’t know exactly what it is though. I think maybe I see writing as material, material for shaping with others, elements or offering for conversation. The conversation is where it’s at for me. Good conversation is like a game of catch. You throw a ball (material), I throw it back. When we toss the ball back and forth we are playing catch. If nobody throws the ball back, I think that maybe I need to try again with some different material.
Thanks for the comment, Dave. Reminds me a bit of the analogy of echolocation, which is one way I think about this "living out loud" that happens in blogs.
From Aesop Rock's song "Dorks":
"I think we're all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belong
This song's our echolocation up in impregnable fog"
Also directly related to the video from Savannah, https://www.experimental-history.com/p/the-illusion-of-moral-decline
Love a good hot tip for 'things I want to come back and read/listen to/digest later."
