Boundaries

As I've been writing my thoughts here[1] over the last six months or so, It's become clearer to me where there's an implicit boundary between what I will and what I will not write about.

The point of this project is to learn by exploring ideas through writing. I've done a lot of that. And I'm doing it in public[2]. That's part of the point. But the public-ness of it is disturbing to me[3] too.

So I have a filter[4]. Here's what it turns out I filter out:

• Ideas I encounter for the first time and haven't had time to ferment in my mind yet.
• Topics that I don't really care about, but others talk about a lot because they're in vogue or made out to be highly controversial.
• The people around me that I have a real relationship with.
• Anything pertaining to my salaried job.
• Ideas that I'm conflicted over. I try to explore some of these[5], but there are others that I'm really not yet comfortable with (these usually fall into the category of things that haven't had a chance to ferment.)
