meditation on tradeoffs

[brainwane]

[the cost of charisma is information asymmetry with those who meet me]
[the cost of vision is being misunderstood or ignored, Cassandra-style]
[the cost of actually thinking outside the box is having to then squeeze back into it so others can understand & fund me]
[the cost of love is grief]

Oh, ouch. Relatable.

Oooh to the Cassandra one, yeah. I had thought for years that being better at foresight would make me more able to stave off the inevitable. The great frustration of my thirties was that this was not the case.

I wish you some unmixed happiness.

Owwww.

Forgive me if I'm trying to parse intentionally gnomic utterings, but by
the cost of charisma is information asymmetry with those who meet me
do you mean: everyone is interested in what the charismatic person is doing, so the other people never get the chance to talk?

oh the dreaded box.

I often find that the better I understand something the more difficulty I have explaining it, as though my mental models are too far from box-central.
