So right now I am slowly hacking away at this dependency map and while thinking about a loose order, the total volume of which is probably a project analogous to one of the Ribbonfarm books or the Sequences or the Uruk series, but is about understanding culture

But I'm also hoping to find ways of publishing this that surfaces the relationships between the ideas in a more clear way
People have tried things like this before with hyperlink books, interactive fiction, and straight up wikis. I'm not compelled by anything I've seen

I'm interested in Roam Research style transclusions (have not played with this extensively yet), but I would never use it to publish because I think it would suffer from some of the problems hypertext books have, and from a visual standpoint it's not a pretty way to present ideas

I think there are a lot of new UX patterns to be invented here that make the kind of writing project I want to do possible. I definitely need to transition from jekyll to gatsby and learn some react if I want it to be possible

anyway, this is where I'm at, basically slogging through lots of idea debt, just busting out words, but I can definitely say I'm not bored of the ideas. yandhi 2020

Been there. I’ve never personally managed to get out from under big idea debts. The only way out I’ve found is to sneak off, start something debt-free and fun in an adjacent place, and maybe that grows exponentially enough to eat the debt later. If not, you have a new thing 😎

hahaha! Yeah almost everything I did this year was mostly fun adjacencies lol.
I'm cutting myself some slack because I know that the ideas simply weren't polished enough before so I couldn't have written them to the level of clarity and neatness I wanted

Everything I’ve done since 2006 has been fun adjacencies. Once you cut yourself some slack, you never go back 🤣
Beware this outcome. I suspect if you are ambitious, you have to hold on to a degree of neurotic unhappiness to make your way back from fun.
