And I'm like, wow, this is just an extremely well-written thing that could have been another blog post.

Why don't you start a blog?

And they're like, oh, I could never do that.

Same advice as for everything else.

I say that I very rarely see new bloggers who are great.

But like when I see some...

I published every day for the first couple of years of Slate Star Codex, maybe only the first year.

Now I could never handle that schedule.

I don't know.

I was in my 20s.

I must have been briefly superhuman.

But whenever I see a new person who blogs every day, it's very rare that that never goes anywhere or they don't get good.

That's like my best leading indicator for who's going to be a good blogger.

Yeah, so I think there are two possibilities there.

One is that you are in fact a shallow person without very many ideas, in which case I'm sorry, it sounds like that's not going to work.

But usually when people complain that they're in that category, I read their Twitter or I read their Tumblr or I read their ACX comments or I listen to what they have to say about AI risk when they're just talking to people about it.

And they actually have a huge amount of things to say.

Somehow it's just not connecting with whatever part of them has lists of things to blog about.

That's right.

So that may be another one of those skills that only 20% of people have is when you have an idea, you actually remember it and then you expand on it.
