The Power of Writing in Public
Writing in public significantly expands opportunities for connection and creativity. It increases what is referred to as 'surface area for serendipity,' meaning that by sharing ideas and experiences online, writers can meet like-minded individuals and discover new ideas. The internet serves as a powerful matching tool, linking people with shared interests and passions, much like platforms such as Airbnb and Uber connect users based on their needs. This not only fosters personal relationships but also enhances intellectual growth through the exchange of diverse perspectives within a community.
