In 48 hours, I'll be sharing a unique perspective that I have. For 10 years now, I've been visible on this platform, observed by well more people than I ever imagined, or ever deserved. It's such a long time that, when this all started, it wouldn't be wrong to say that I didn't know myself. And yet, as I didn't know me, there was an internet that was getting to know me, to form an idea of me in first tens, then hundreds, then thousands, and now millions of other lives. Some shallow, some with depth, some as intelligent, others as a poser, but all sharing one thing; none would be fully accurate, in ways now obvious, and often painful. The visibility of myself makes up more of me than I could ever hope to cover, and that was a large part of my decision to change what my form looks like, to make it match what I'd already found it was in philosophy and logic. I both make myself, and watch myself be made by all these other eyes.
Thursday's video is all about that, and how it applies to us; all of us. From the editing, to the bit of collaboration, to the outfits, and of course a personal story, it's likely one of the best I've ever made. I even went out into the woods for this one! I have the bug bites to prove it.

I hope to see you there, Thursday at 2:15pm EST.
Thanks,
