Note to my therapist, cc: the internet

Gil, here's what I want to talk about Friday.

Two things happened today that are the same thing.

First: I sat in a meeting with 8 engineers and their manager. I've spent weeks documenting every gap, every risk, every dependency in this migration. Detailed. Comprehensive. The kind of work my brain was built for. The directive from the top? Move fast. The documentation? Unread. The gaps I mapped? Invisible. The clients who'll feel the pain? Not in the room.

Second: immediately after that meeting, I opened Substack and found an article about how high-capacity minds don't burn out from intensity, they burn out from absurdity. For one brief second, I felt seen. Then I realized the author published the exact same article two months ago. An AI content pipeline churning out frameworks about cognitive depth... without noticing it duplicated itself.

Both stories have the same plot: someone moving fast without doing the deep work, and profiting from it.

I think the question I need your help with is: what do I do with a brain that always sees more than the room can hold?
