One reason I haven't invested in building as strong a BASB as many is simply that my comfort set-point is mostly near the gonzo edge. I need the full 2+ year foresight potential of the GSCITC for the thinking I'm most effective at. If it means continuous partial PTSD so be it.

One sign of the cost of this tradeoff. Though I can see this thread would be nice to put into a blog post, I don't feel like I can conjure up the energy to do it. It will likely remain in this context, only accessible and grokkable to people who are also in a roughly gonzo place

And also, I need a better term than GSCITC... but something without baggage. Hive mind, borg, AGI, efficient narrative marketplace... all the terms I've been able to think of have inappropriate or misleading connotations.

The Waldenponding newsletters were Oct 2018 and April 2019. I think I first broached this topic even earlier in this newsletter. Your Passport to the Metabrain (Jan 2017). Shit, this has been on my 2nd brain for a long time.https://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=78cbbb7f2882629a5157fa593&id=0f299f9100 …

The cost of being in gonzo mode online is admittedly quite high. The effect on more retreated modes of production (essays, books, products) is very noticeable. My best thinking in the last few years has been on twitter, but the reach is far lower than my blog or newsletter

nah, this is too early stage thinking for me to talk coherently about in audio media

Understood and accept but want to add that for me conversation can bring out tangential ideas and further solidify thinking around areas of interest.

Yeah I realize that. It's never done that for me. I've rarely gotten much of that kind of value out of my podcast appearances, so when I do it, it tends to be for promoting more fully baked stuff.

Does it work that way only with podcast interviews or non-recorded conversations with a friend in addition to interviews? Just curious....

Podcast stuff. I find private 1:1 talking with a small handful of people I've gotten mind-melded with over years very useful. But then the output is only valuable to the two of us and incomprehensible to anyone else.
