Why Write?

This is a great reminder that writing is not a utility function, or the outcome of something, but it is the act of actually thinking.

Writing is the process by which you realize that you do not understand what you are talking about. Importantly, writing is also the process by which you figure it out.

This is a big reason why I write the Weekly Thing, and why I blog. And it is a value that writing actual sentences and paragraphs brings, the the utterances of social media completely lose.
