What should I say?

What are people hearing?

What are they able to hear?

How do I pivot it?

What parts do I not talk about?

Which journal am I going to publish this in?

Is it time now?

Do I wait two years for this?

All the practical stuff that is all about how it looks from the outside.

Right?

All the stuff that I can't say this, or I should say this differently, or this is gonna freak people out, or this community wants to hear this so I can pivot it this way.

Like all that practical stuff.

It's gotta be there, otherwise you're not gonna be in a position to follow up any of your ideas.

You're not gonna have a career, you're not gonna have resources to do anything.

But it's very important that that can't be the only thing.

You need another part of your mind that ignores all that shit completely.

Because this other part of your mind has to be pure.

It has to be, I don't care what anybody else thinks about this.

I don't care whether this is publishable, describable.

I don't care if anybody gets it.
