# Intellectual Dark Matter
Some examples of (exposed) intellectual dark matter:
* [[Embedded growth obligations]]
* [[Load Bearing Fiction]]
In a way, the whole point of thinking through writing is to expose your own intellectual dark matter. [[Hunch, notion, idea]].
When people say “oh that book that is blowing everybody’s mind isn’t saying anything new” they are usually talking about a book that exposed intellectual dark matter.
Concept originally from [[Samo Burja]] in [[Intellectual Dark Matter - Article]]
