Our readingWhat is a korrent?

Someone who never writes has no fully formed ideas about anything nontrivial, and never realises it.

Drawn from what Paul Graham said

writing
What this subject means

writing Prose as thinking: writing well, writing by hand while a model offers to do it, and who will still be able to.

Why does writing matter, now that a model can write for you?under our view: Writing is how thinking gets done, not a record of thinking already finished

What Paul Graham actually said

  1. Paul Graham Co-founder of Y Combinator and Viaweb
    If writing down your ideas always makes them more precise and more complete, then no one who hasn't written about a topic has fully formed ideas about it. And someone who never writes has no fully formed ideas about anything nontrivial.
