“What’s one belief you changed your mind about in the past year? What sparked the change, and how has it influenced your perspective?”

ty @ted for this thoughtful prompt

my biggest change in the last year has been to be even more careful with what information i ingest. 

i now think the membrane between "info out there" and "cognition in my head" is very permeable. everything in your awareness affects you, even the bad takes you know are wrong or dumb. in addition, it all replaces your own thoughts unless you're very very careful about it.

so i cut back hard on all media except older books, and started writing and just thinking more. im also planning to focus even more on working on what i want, not on what others (even people i highly respect) are into.
