Writing is a lot about "rendering through words." What do I mean?
When exploring a problem or topic, these aspects are particularly important:
- Rendering it through multiple angles.
You don't necessarily need to present new information. Value comes from showing the problem from different perspectives—illuminating various sides and revealing how it interacts with complex reality.
- Spending extended time with the problem.
Again, this doesn't require introducing new information or connections. Simply by dedicating more time to a problem, you can discover its intricacies and complexities, and better understand how it relates to the world.
These approaches enhance the thinking process in valuable ways, even when no new facts, connections, or information are introduced.
