Metaphor shifts in how you think about what you do are really important even if they seem silly. The Asimovian metaphor is still important, but now secondary because I’m thinking in more practical ways about the next stage in the evolution of my little media empire

But it’s nice to finally have 4 pieces to make a full 2x2. When I actually construct the 2x2, I’ll finally have a true business model rather than just a business philosophy in the form of a bunch of aphorisms, cf my “going free agent” post from 9 years ago

My inner mental models of what I do are as comically grandiose as the outer manifestations are comically sidewalk-busking level. I manage to have fun though.
