Plans (of Mice & Men…)

[Josh]

Let’s break out these things as distinct sets:

1) What I write somewhere
2) What I write in a collected, presentable form
3) What I write in an engaging, convincing form
4) Who I explicitly show different bits that I write (this is a function, so a subset of Cartesian product space on set of writing & set of audience…)
5) Who somehow finds things I write without being explicitly led to it.
6) Who can claim they found something by accident even if they are playing some part in a spook game.

Within the category of <What I write> there are important subsets too – what I write about my own experience, what I write about you, what I write about Spook history, & what I write about current events//politics//economics//government//law//media etc. in light of those other notes.

Everyone of those categories can only increase monotonically over time. I believe spook will work hard & be short term effective at making sure that 5) is a very small, perhaps almost empty set. Because of that, and because spook controls 6), it’s hard for me to gain advantage through publicity until I make a big push with 4), and it’s hard to gain from that until I make a big push with 3), and it’s hard to do that in some of the sub-categories of writing until I do a bunch in the other categories, or bring it up all together.

At least that’s how I see it, and why I feel that throw things out there with hopes to maximize 5) in the short term is a not a good plan.

We are focused together on these central topics, looking to see if there is anything new to say about it???

If I am conflicted, pulled in different directions, seeking compromise, etc. … I can talk about that & acknowledge it without fear of violent reprisal against me or someone I care about. That’s a good way to be. If someone else is *not* situated like that, then I’d want to know that & take it into consideration. Common sense for uncommon situations…
