This here turned out interesting. I’d had two different things: a) A list of “very specific” concepts I’d chatted about in a long session, then I also had a bunch of perspectives I’d gotten it to generate. I wondered if all of the “very specific” could fit _somewhere_, somehow in the specific perspectives list – and indeed, they do. It would take very minor editing to remove a few – very few – but it is definitely “me-ish”.
