Your post on journalists is, as I suspected, a lot better.
I bounced off the post about mapping discussions because the post didn’t make clear what potential it might have to be useful to me. The post on journalists, which drew me in and quickly made clear what its use would be: informing me of how journalists use conversations with them.
The implied claims that theory should be worth less than building or that time on task equals usefulness are both wrong. We are collectively very confused, so running around building stuff before getting less confused isn’t always the best use of time.
Yeah but the mapping post is about 100x more important/well informed also. Shouldn’t that count for something? I’m not saying it’s clearer, I’m saying that it’s higher priority, probably.
As a reaction to this shortform I looked at the mapping post and immediately bounced off.
Echoing Seth I didnt understand the point.
The journalist post, by contrast, resonated strongly with me. Obviously it’s red meat for the commentariat here.
It made me feel like (1) other people care about this problem in a real, substantive, and potentially constructive way ; (2) there might be ways to make this genui ely better and this is potentially a very high impact lever.
You may think the post is far more important and well informed, but if it isn’t sufficiently clear, then maybe that didn’t come across to your audience.

Why is it more important ?
