I have no idea how he does it.

Go read Matt Webb’s yearend wrap-up post. There’s more ideas lying loose on the ground there than in any of the last five books I’ve read, or, indeed, in the last forty posts here put together.

I don’t agree with all of the things Matt’s arguing – in fact, maybe it’s the focus on complex systems, at levels of abstraction both higher and lower than the human, but people seem to be missing from most of these thoughtbursts – but good god, what a treasure trove. Have at it.
