Hey, really love your posts man, you go really in depth into some really unique and niche topics no one else seems to cover. Question for you, how do you source ideas (and find research) on what to write about?
About finding ideas, it's kind of a never ending chain: I stumble upon most subjects while researching another subject.
I'll usually read about subject Y while trying to understand as much as possible the context for subject X. I'll eventually realize that I've "wasted" too many hours reading about Y, and I should really just write down all my notes on Y, plan for a future post on the subject (weeks, months later), and finish writing my current post on subject X.
Other ideas come from discussions with other people interested in similar subjects (see my last post on skin color discrimination), or reading some piece/post on social media that makes me say "wait, this doesn't make sense, does it?", sending me in an unplanned data searching expedition which might become another post.

Thanks for the kind words Zachary!
