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
