Writing allows me think. It is how you map your mind onto the first layer of reality. But not all people like to writes and many now delegate their writings to LLMs, it just delegates their thinking. LLMs are already geniuses in datacenter but their output gravitates toward the average. Good writing gives good direction, and most good direction comes from original thought.
Human ability to write has accelerated civilizational progress. I remember in school they teach us the difference between prehistoric and historic age is where human learns to have written records. the invention of printing press revolutionize human civilization because it enabled mass production of written records and spread of knowledge. Writing is that important.
Writing immortalizes your ideas into the real world, and in some case, immortalizes parts of yourself. A single text can generate actions across centuries. ideas, culture, religion are better preserved through text. people may not know charles darwin as a person, may not even like him but they know evolution theory. same can be said with karl marx and communism.
I created this blog so i can share my writing. it allows people to take a glimpse into my thought without meeting me.
