i want to share my thoughts but i don’t want to push them out to people and i don’t want anyone to subscribe to them. i want to gratify the part of myself that wishes to be public and available, practice transparency, and provide the spirit of the internet more raw material with which to create useful synchronicites in others.
on transparency, i’m reminded of Nehru in his The Discovery of India:
We have nothing to hide. We are not afraid of what we do and what we say. We work in the sun and in the light. Even so in our private lives let us make friends with the sun and work in the light and do nothing secretly or furtively. Privacy, of course, we may have and should have, but that is a very different thing from secrecy. And if you do so, my dear, you will grow up a child of the light, unafraid and serene and unruffled, whatever may happen.
