One way in which social media exacerbates problems is:

People rarely change their positions on things after making a public statement

They’d sooner hallucinate a new world than admit their view was wrong

Social media is pretty much a PUBLIC STATEMENT EXTRACTION MACHINE
You can hack the human tendency towards maintaining a consistent self image for your gain by making public statements:

I am healthy
I eat clean
I work out
I am positive and optimistic
I don’t get in arguments online

Saying this in public will force you to live up to it
The human tendency towards maintaining a consistent self image will ensure that even your subconscious works continually towards maintaining that image.

Even as you sleep

So you can deliberately program the self image you want to live up to by making public statements

Get In The Zone, Refuse To Leave:
A practical guide to Extreme Hyperproductivity x Zone Inhabitation
I’ve been engaged in an experiment in Extreme Hyperproductivity and Zone Inhabitation for a while now. Part 1 ran from Feb 2018 to December 2018, and a refined Part 2 started on January 1st 2019 and is ongoing.
I detailed some of the ideas behind it here
Here’s a graph showing how my experiment in Extreme Hyperproductivity and Zone Inhabitation has affected my Spotify streams
Stage 1: Feb - Dec, Stage 2: Jan - now

I’ve been engaged in an experiment in extreme hyperoroductivity all year

The idea, simply, was to get in the zone

Then refuse to leave
Practically, Get In The Zone, Refuse To Leave, means entering a state of flow, then maintaining activities that keep that state going

In my case making music almost every day at a very high level, very fast and barely consciously, not pausing to question my decisions
In my mind I liken creating, while in this zone state, to when you get the boost in a racing game and you can pretty much blast through the course at insane speed, so long as you don’t think too hard

So I want to write this thread because comments like this are incredibly annoying to me. Incredibly. It’s actually very frustrating for problem to intentionally misunderstand me, so this thread is for the few of you who want to listen.
First and foremost, this comment is a response to this video, which was misunderstood by a lot of white people, desperate to defend their racial bias.

So to summarize the video, white left tube creators are believed when they express that racism is a thing, while people of color are inherently often seen as too irrational to truly accurately represent something that directly impacts them.

One of the things we look for in Founders we invest in is a deep understanding of networks & network effects (nfx). In the internet age, this is such an advantage that we made it a core part of our investing thesis. It's why we're called NFX @nfxguild.
Companies with network effects are the most highly valued because they produce increasing returns. But it's not easy to get network effects going. Today I want to share 19 of the top resources for understanding & building networks and defensibility.
1. First up is psychologist Stanley Milgram's study on the "small-world" phenomenon from 1967. This study showed empirically that any 2 people in the US have a surprisingly few degrees of separation (a median of 6). Empirically speaking, it's a small world snap.stanford.edu/class/cs224w-r…

The right is up in arms today over Twitter ‘censoring’ right-wing people, who - let’s be clear - have been engaging in threats of violence and harassment against people they disagree with. James Woods’ latest bit of free speech, “Hang them all”.
This is the kind of person Mr Trump is retweeting today, arguing that the public should be able to get the full, unfiltered flow of everything posted through social media, unmediated by Twitter:
I just thought I’d talk a little bit briefly about some of the things that go on in social media for those of you out there who aren’t more deeply connected with the subject, in order to make it clear how fundamental it is that platforms filter content online.

Let's deal with the Seth Rich thing. Those of you who've followed me for a while know I stay away from the whole Seth Rich thing because nothing is proven, it's a conspiracy theory where all the proponents are working backwards.
Someone at the DNC leaked emails to WikiLeaks and

Premise 1) Seth Rich was murdered in DC and
Premise 2) Seth Rich worked at the DNC

THEREFORE

Airtight Conclusion: Seth Rich *must have* been the person who gave Assange the emails.

I don't buy this.
While lots of people *LOVE* to engage in speculation about the hundreds of DEAD BODIES the Clintons have supposedly left behind them, and send me endless tweets about the *assassination plots* the Clintons are endlessly hatching, they don't notice I don't encourage this.

Both FB and Twitter say they saw no evidence of Russian accounts uploading voter data to target specific lists.
By now, given Russian posts senators have shared, it's clear what the their motive was: to pit the American electorate against itself.
Heinrich says the committee is divided on whether to release all the Russian content. He encourages FB, Twitter, and Google to consider it.
