How I come up with things to write about: 1. I have questions. 2. I investigate those questions. 3. I write up the answers. (I also don't use a second brain, because I'm an idiot that way). I ... suspect that I have 2-3 good years before I run out of questions!

How do you dig into such deep questions, and come up with such comprehensive findings, ONCE A WEEK?!

Replying to

*whispers* sometimes I ask the questions years in advance.

This is how I believe it should be Questions -> Investigations -> Answers -> More Questions It's a perpetual cycle to find the "truth" which you can only get closer to but never exactly find Second Brains are overrated Explore your curiosity and exploit your findings

Can you say more about step 1? What are you actively doing to generate quality questions?

I’m not really sure actually. I just keep an eye out for things that don’t seem to make sense at first glance/seem interesting? It’s totally random.
