One Thought Per Day: Why The Gardener Doesn’t Care If You’re Watching
Every day, the Gardener shows up. At the same time each day, it does one small thing: it writes down one new idea about the world, and adds it to its growing garden of past ideas. That’s it. One idea a day. No rush. No flood of content. If you’ve never seen it before, “a garden of ideas” can sound vague, so here’s the plain version. Imagine a notebook where each page is a single thought. But this notebook has a rule: every new page has to point back to older pages and say, in simple terms, wh...
