Recently I’m realizing that I need a lot of time to just thing for myself. If I’m not careful I just read a bunch of stuff, and then I just regurgitate it as if it’s my viewpoint. And honestly that’s fine, if that’s your thing. But I honestly am more interested in perspectives but I’ve been thought through and kneaded like a dough over and over. I think we live in an age where everyone wants everything in an instant, and opinions of others are wanted constantly. But screw that, take your time and knead your dough is what I say. Don’t let others tell you otherwise. Your dough is precious - you don’t have to let others think for you all the time.

In other words - there is a beauty in the memetic. It’s pretty crazy that it allows us to transfer knowledge and viewpoints and ideas quickly and share them with other people, especially through medium that’s borderline instantaneous like the Internet. On the Internet you can share ideas instantly, and they’re digestible and sharable. But I guess what I’m trying to say is that it also means that you could become infected a lot easier by these memes. So if you just keep feeding it and feeding it, you might end up not even having a single fault of your own

I think that’s why it’s important to take a break, and just leave room for yourself to think about things — I think digesting ideas, chewing on them, kneading them around like dough, living with them for a while, having conversations with them — these are valuable things to do because it helps you come to terms with these ideas And you know; Ideas often zig and zag and go in different directions than you initially thought. Sometimes in much more wonderful than you previously thought directions, often times it doesn’t really go anywhere. Mostly live in moments of uncertainty (after the initially high) but overall you eventually arrive at more interesting viewpoints and vistas. I live for interesting vistas (and helping others see it too)
