If you do get some good results out of talking with people, I’d recommend trying to talk to people about the topics you’re interested in via some chat system and then go back and extract out useful/interesting bits that were discussed into a more durable journal. I’d have recommended IRC in the distant past, but nowadays it seems like Discord is the more modern version where this kind of conversation could be found. E.g. there’s a slatestarcodex discord at https://discord.com/invite/RTKtdut
YMMV and I haven’t personally tried this tactic :)
I do this. I only started trying to do this extraction recently after accruing years of conversations though, and I quickly realized sorting through it was overwhelming and quit… but I need to suck it up and do more. I constantly drop thought-jewels on random friends and then forget them!
