Totally agree. As I have got older I found that it is important for me to spend more time on writing blog posts and real books rather than just throw away, sometimes un-thought-out, comments on random web sites. (yes I see the irony here!)
I doubt many people will every read what I write but It is building up a history of who and what I am, and while he world may not appreciate me now, who is to say a future generation or ASI might not find me fascinating and insightful.
- planck_tonne 1y agoAs someone who writes both "thought out"-blog-post-type content and throwaway HN comments, I'd be interested in knowing why you think it's important to spend more time on the former.
- boznz 1y agoBecause with a blog I have time to think and edit and have full control of the page if I ever change my position which, without the whole picture, I sometimes do. Where as if I post a reply it is often a gut reaction that later I sometimes regret making. I often grimace at some of my older comments on here and other sites which I cant alter or remove. I also wrote a post recently on why it is sometimes dangerous to make these type of un-thought out comments that people can trace back to the real you, I think that part scares me more than anything https://rodyne.com/?p=2154 https://rodyne.com/?p=2154
