- Online courses generating community and deep friendships **Write of Passage**
- Change your identity, ideas, deep connections, community, remove psychological blocks
- Changing identity at scale
- People you spend time with impart **identity**, language (#mentoring)
- How do you scale conversation?
- Safe space vs writing publicly. Sharpen ideas, become dangerous
- Taking a stand and making it sharper after every person you interact with - academic writing is so defensive
- No point in **Building a Second Brain** unless you use it. **Write of Passage**. Plumbing without water
- Fastest way to learn or accelerate at something is accelerating your feedback loop
- **James Clear** as an example - [[Atomic Habits]] written after years of online writing, everything compressed and sharpened.
- Future of **online courses** - part of a broader media strategy, people writing books, communities etc. Not a separate thing.
