Chats debut on joodaloop.com

I’m trying out a new format on this site: conversations. You can expect to see it in different places/pages over time.

The design will probably change slightly in the future; but the more interesting questions are around what parts of the conversation I choose to display. Do I include random messages above/below the relevant slice? Do I preserve typos and “hmmm"s and “huh"s? How should privacy-preservation work?

Here’s an apt example (w/ Anjali):

i think conversations are the laziest tool for thought, because you’re just offloading cognition to the other person

well….

high variance

say more

they can force you into new avenues

think of them as an oblique strategy

they can also give you missing context, but that’s fulfilling a search function

but then again what is thinking if not search

think of them as an oblique strategy

such a good comparison, damn

but then again what is thinking if not search

search + reasoning
