Blog about things you don't understand yet
1. Writing is a tool for clear thinking and deep learning
- When you only think, it is easy to mistake yourself for having understood, but as you write, the flaws in your logic and the gaps in your knowledge become clear.
- As you research and write, you may arrive at conclusions opposite to your initial position, and this is a very positive sign that deep learning is taking place.
2. The importance of clear and debatable claims
- Rather than merely listing information or thoughts, when you present a clear claim that can be refuted, the engagement and communicative power of the writing increase.
- A writing method that imposes a fixed framework and position instead makes writing much easier, much like poets writing poetry to fit meter.
3. The powerful weapon of a beginner's perspective
- Even if you are not a perfect expert, writing that kindly points out, from a beginner's perspective, 'what problem was originally trying to be solved' delivers great value to readers.
- If you do just a little research, you can present excellent insights that correct mistaken public misconceptions (for example, errors about water consumption when using AI prompts).
4. Multidimensional feedback through readers and LLMs
- The process of publishing your writing and receiving reader feedback becomes an opportunity to solidify your thoughts and claims.
- If publishing feels burdensome, inputting a draft into an LLM to verify technical errors or receive specific criticism can also be an effective alternative.
Do not try to write after understanding everything perfectly; instead, directly experience the method of first deciding on a topic you want to learn about and then completing your knowledge as you organize it in writing.
