How Writing Can Help Drop Bias and Improve Your Thinking
Writing is a great way to pressure your thinking: it’s hard to summarize something you need help understanding. By trying to explain an idea, you’ll test many angles, flesh out its edges, and see new connections. Writing makes a train of thought visible. The process put pressure on ideas. Writing exposes gaps in understanding. Writing is where we clash views, fledged out edges and find potential connections.
Writing has so much to give, so much to teach, so many surprises
Writing can help eliminate bias. We can gain further insight into our thoughts by revisiting our written notes. A blank page reflects your thoughts, and when your ideas are unclear, your words on the page will be too. We don’t have to share everything we create with others. Instead, we can have internal conversations by writing down our thoughts. Writing helps us organize ideas and create knowledge rather than just transmitting information. Writing can help us get into a flow state and improve our writing skills.
