Bootstrapping a complex thesis from background research and brainstorming notes is an imagination-nerve chicken-egg problem. If you don’t solve it you’ll basically just end up with a glorified narrative bibliography.

Currently facing this problem albeit at a smaller scale 😅
Stuck at 2.5k words but thesis seems to be missing something (aha insight). How do you tackle it? Just more time/serendipity?

The 2.5k scale problem was the focus of the art of longform course I ran with Sarah. There’s systematic things you can do at that scale to catalyze breakthroughs. Book-length is harder.

On it! I completely forgot about that.
Yes, no doubt book length would be much harder.
