Learning by Writing
I went through several cycles of “I think I know what I really think and I’m ready to write,” followed by “No, having started writing, I’m unsatisfied with my answer on this point and think a bit more investigation could change it.” So I kept alternating between writing and reading, but was always reading with the aim of getting back to writing.

Learning by Writing by Holden Karnofsky
Detailed breakdown of a writing approach focused on rigour, self-reflection, and getting to a working hypothesis quickly. Made me realise I need more devil's advocacy into my own process 😈 https://t.co/z2M0NKZKmH
The most important advantage of writing is that it helps us to confront ourselves when we do not understand something as well as we would like to believe.
