Clarity
This place is where I collect worthy knowledge that inspire me and find useful to be a better human.
In the age of AI generated content I'll have to try to focus on the point even more.
As a victim of the Not Invented Here cognitive bias, my ego got it's desired praise from thinking my ideas were original and unique. Took me a while to figure out these ideas are out there, I just have to find who to listen to - how to gauge authenticity. My challenge to listen better.
I hope I can connect to the world around me better, help me integrate good practices into my life.
