Dear Thinkers,

I think great thoughts in the shower. Big, earth shaking and insightful thoughts. I’ve never lost an argument in the shower because my ideas are so good.

And then you dry off and go into the real world with your shower thoughts and they are quickly challenged, debunked, and proved much weaker than we thought. Because other people have their own shower thoughts, too. And they do battle against our own.

Our purpose as humans should be to have good ideas about the world. Ideas that reflect truth and beauty. And the only way to make our ideas better is to have them challenged by other people’s ideas. To step out of the shower and put our ideas into the world.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
