# On taekwondo

Time to schedule my Linkedin posts for next month. Here we go. Lemmi just come up with 31 insights in an hour... Thank God I'm so knowledgeable and insightful...

That's what the batch writer is telling me.

But there's another type of writer. Those with erratic and whimsical writing habits, like yours truly. We're unprofessional and misguided. But I think we're more honest and humble. I can't write 12 posts in one weekend. I'm not that insightful and I can't be bothered to tell you things that you should know on your own.

I understand that things that work, work for a reason. Regular posting forces one to write in batches which necessarily generates the type of bland, thoughtless crap that people are likely to interact with. The question is not whether or not this method works. The question is: Do you want to play that game or not?

It's like cycling. You can't win at cycling if you don't use PEDs. You just can't because a lot of people use them and the viewer doesn't know the difference. In cycling, the choice is to either take PEDs, or play taekwondo instead.

Social media is very similar. Dull, flat, repetitive, mass produced crap tends to delight and capture the social media gods. Regularity is the name of the game, kinda like McDonald's. So it seems that we have to dilute and moronify our stuff to maintain a readership. Thankfully, my livelihood is very independent of this. So I get to pick the other option. I chose taekwondo.
