The Hard Truth About Thinking
We don’t live in a world that wants us to think.
We live in a world that wants us to scroll. To react. To rush.
A world that rewards speed and punishes stillness.
As if it were designed to interrupt the exact kind of focus real thinking requires.
So when I talk about thinking in public, most people obsess over the “public” part, as if sharing were the hard part.
But the real challenge is the thinking itself. When the thoughts are carefully crafted, the distribution tends to take care of itself.
Thinking.
Making time for it. Making space for it. Daring to sit with half-formed ideas, as uncomfortable as that may be. Slowly and deliberately carving clarity.
It takes effort. It involves friction.
And it requires committment.
