+
+Speech and the word written, are potential expressions of a
+thought. Each one of us enjoys a different mix of how we best convey
+ourself. I am beginning to explore instruments of expression that may
+allow one to build up a more convenient, unbiased way of
+expressing my ideas, allowing one to context-switch with lower
+intellectual overheads.  
+
+Ever since I began blogging when I was 19, I've been prioritising
+descriptiveness over precision. I feel I've entered a
+mental state where I value the distilled value of the transmission
+more than the exhaustiveness of the message.  
+
+I also notice a rift between the way I speak and the way I write. Not
+to say that any one of them is superior than the other but I could use
+an exercise in convergence - projecting them both onto a common
+ground.  
+
+I hypothesize that the act of enforcing a common implicit
+representation for my speech and my writing will better enrich the way
+I think : for I anticipate the waves of my mind 
+when I craft a sentence, and practice intuitively surfing them when I
+to navigate a conversation a certain way.  
+
+This in turn should help me be a better thinker, writer and
+conversationalist.  
+
+Descriptiveness isn't inherently bad but it does pull away precious
+attention from the crux of what you wish to convey.  
+
+On to the pragmatics of accelerating this intent into consequences,
+I'll be writing more often than usual and would keep it slightly aloof
+than what I'm reading currently. Instead, I'll focus on ideas that
+I've previously encountered in fragments and try sensibly collating
+them.  
+
+Self criticism is another aspect that I'll be translucent about to
+really document my progress with the same. For starters I've a
+tendency to get a little too abstract, a little to quickly. I've
+already deviated quite a bit from what I initially set out to convey
+in this micro-essay (this does show a potential market for version
+controlled essays). That either highlights the way writing refines
+your thought, or.., how raw one's thought is that it requires an hour
+of active refinement to really understand what one thinks.  
+
+We shall soon find out, over the following season of abstract musings,
+how well I stand true to my promise of iterative convergence - over a
+series of relevant blogs (here) and unscripted monologues
+([youtube](https://youtube.com/@rajp152k?si=oOuktOD2UUQVnOLL)). If
+you'd like to know what goes on under the hood with a higher frequency
+of updates, checkout the [ideation
