As aspects of reality, we are closest to reality when we're LEAST trying to BE. There's a natural tempo to Wu Wei. Too fast and you rush the tempo trying to be more than reality. Reality feels boring. Too slow and reality feels anxious.

people who "think fast" will feel bored by reality and try all sorts of things to spice things up. people who "think slow" see reality as threatening and try to seal themselves away from or learn from it in an "understand and respect thy enemy"

E.g. people who see the world as small vs people who see the world as big. In the former you have more capacity for creativity, games, and optimism but also ham fisted mistakes of idealistic low resolution thinking.

In the latter the world is seen in much higher definition but in a far more focused area. The world can feel like a source of endless mystery and wonder but also a dark and dangerous forest.

Ok I've looped back to the idea of seeing people/world as bigger or smaller. Idea circle completed.

If a bunch of idea circles are linked it becomes an idea chain. The superior form of an idea thread.

I'd be curious to explore your work in a sort of graph view

Any broad themes you're interested in that could help serve as anchors?
