Matthew van der Hoorn So, you are instantly in the meta-world of having to grapple with making a choice while you are still defining the meaning and the criteria of choosing. My world is far simpler. A thought is worth including if it is delightful to think about. If I put my academic hat on, I would still use the same criteria, even while recognizing that not all delightful thoughts are publishable. I would hold onto the hope that delightful thoughts lead to original contributions, which, after some delay, might well be publishable.... in case that helps.
