Great insights are coming from having lived. You can’t share great ideas out of thin air. Either you had a hard time, you have lived in different places (Mini Retirements), you encountered many problems and overcame obstacles. These all make great insights, articles to share.

People who tend to live less interesting lives, taking the easy route, the Default Path maybe, will more often have less insightful Ideas. You can’t just come up with a great article without having lived through it. It will not have an essential substance.

That means, for an blog or article that is worth sharing, you need to experience first. Use questions, obstacles, you had yourself. Use the Art of Asking to get to great topics.

Ideas worth sharing are insights from having lived. You can’t create great ideas out of thin air. You must have gone through a hard time, possibly lived in different places, or overcome obstacles. These all make great insights and ideas to share. Use the art of asking questions, and start sharing. Bsky

Have something to say. Have convictions. See Harry Dry:

Will AI replace Humans

Big ideas are less about creativity and more about conviction. [..] So, what happened? ‘Sauce and other shit’ got incredibly cheap! [..] There is no AI prompt for conviction. Harry Dry

Or my thought on using em dash:

Will AI replace Humans

But at the end, convition is a good word. I can focus what an AI thinks while I write, I must write. So having something to say, and trying my best to communicate that, is the best I can do.
