Browsing through your older posts, I was glad to see an actual writing queue listed out. I voted for the 'balance' option on your time poll here, but in retrospect I seem to find myself in agreement with the majority atm on book completion. Myself, I would personally be really interested to see what the complete stance chapter of Meaningness would look like. (Congrats on publishing Better Without AI btw)
Instead of posting notes, stockpile them, group them, and queue them up as newsletter posts for those weeks when you come down with a cold, or an unexpected life circumstance gets in the way. That would ensure a regular heartbeat of published writing. And it would come from only one delivery channel that we need to watch, which is my email inbox.
This is interesting. Have you considered doing both: posting your ideas as notes, and then sending a newsletter post, periodically, with all of your recent notes embedded?
Thanks, I hadn't! Can you say what the benefit would be? It seems like it requires duplicate work from me, and splits reader comments between the Note and the Post, which is probably counter-productive for discussion. It does mean all subscribers would see the content, but that can be accomplished just by including the text of brief ideas in regular Posts instead.
What I'm suggesting is almost identical to your idea "I could list and link Notes in less-frequent general update posts"; the only difference being that the notes would be embedded rather than hyperlinked. Here's a screenshot: https://share.cleanshot.com/7xsHrRY5
Embedded notes provide more of the note's content and context (number of likes, comments, restacks). My guess is that readers who want to engage in the discussion around a particular note will notice that there are already comments on that note, and will post their comment there. You could also ask readers to do this in your post.
I think this would be better than just saving up all your ideas and posting them in a newsletter/post, as it allows your ideas to be distributed more broadly (via the Notes network), and seen and engaged by more readers.

Thanks! I am leaning in this direction, although I sort of want to give Notes a fair trial.

Oh, I see, thank you, I didn't realize this was a thing! It may be the best solution, yes.
