One of my favorite speeches ever.

Improve your decisions, improve your business.

Here are my principles for decision-making:

1. Prioritize Speed, Move with Direction: Move at Internet speed, but never without direction. Find projects with big upside and low downside. Then, double-down on projects with momentum.
2. Whenever possible, write it down.

Clear thinking is a competitive advantage. To improve the quality of my thinking, I write consistently. I write detailed descriptions of my thinking and detailed analyses after every project. Then, I share my best learnings in public.
3. Give people agency.

Be bold in your pursuit of our goals. Push decision-making down in the organization, so we can make decisions fast. Grant people the freedom to make big decisions, but ask them to justify them in writing so everybody understands why the decision was made.

School didn’t teach you how to write online.

Here’s how writing online is different from what you learned. in school.

1. Distractions are everywhere: 90% of writing well is not getting distracted by the Internet. Put your phone away. Turn off the Internet. Focus on the words.
2. Grammar doesn’t matter.

When I was in school, I had terrible grammar and spelling. Still do. But auto-correct and advanced software solved my problem. If I make a mistake, the computer will instantly correct it for me. School is built for the age of handwriting.
3. Remote work rewards people who write well.

When you work on the computer instead of an office, you spend less time in meetings and more time writing long-form. Less voice, more text. People who write well can think well.

Love this snippet from @dhh and @JasonFried.

If you want to improve your writing, start by becoming a better note-taker.

Here are 10 ways to do that:

1. Save only the best notes: Don't hoard information. Save your top 5-10% of ideas only. That way, you can trust that everything in your note-taking system is high-quality.
2. Create evergreen notes.

Like a good investment, the benefits of your note-taking system should compound in value. Save ideas that will stay relevant for many years. Read the classics, skip the news. Note-by-note, brick-by-brick you’ll build an intellectual Coliseum.
3. Publish regularly.

Writing more is the fastest way to improve your note-taking system. Without the pressure to produce, your system will become messy. The pressure to produce will turn your note-taking system into an extension of your mind.

Solving for Y: A Thread

First post of my thread where I either try to figure out who/what Y is, or at least provide more info on the symbolism. Baking an owl-shaped bread, if you will. Including this image of an antique chocolate mold. Note the q-shaped handle. Appropriate.
For this thread, as with the one on P, I'm going to start by presenting all of the Y related Q posts I could find on qmap. I was able to find 11. Incoming.

1/ It's time. I'm dropping docs on SCL, Cambridge Analytica & AggregateIQ + others. This is a big subject & people need to be able to find this information.

Here is how this works:

@profcarroll @carolecadwalla @podehaye @VickerySec @chrisinsilico @kate_hammer @NatashaBertrand
2/ BACKGROUND: These are OSINT docs gathered over years. Anyone can find them if they know how. These are not "hacked" & anyone who claims that is trying to keep you in the dark to promote their own agenda.

@WendySiegelman @annmarlowe
3/ WHY IT'S IMPORTANT: These people, powered by billionaires with anti-democratic agendas, did more than just post a few ads on Facebook. They used weapons grade PsyOps to radicalize people for politics. They employed cutting edge ad tech to do it.

And they are still doing it.

One year ago today I signed with my #screenwriting agent and quite a year it's been. Before then I spent ages not knowing what I was doing. Lots of people & resources helped me along the way. I still don't really know what I'm doing, but I know what helped, so now I present...
THE BIG HELPFUL #SCREENWRITING RESOURCES THREAD (particularly relevant for aspiring #screenwriters in the UK/Scotland)
(NB: this is not 'advice'. It's what I personally found to be helpful. It's also far from exhaustive. There's loads out there. Use what works, bin the rest)

More evidence that we tend to overestimate the power of media: Movie smoking has little if any effect on teen smoking. psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi…
Other examples...

1. Media images have little effect on body dissatisfaction or eating disorders. Largest effect: genes. Second largest: peer influence. christopherjferguson.com/Who%20Is%20the…
2. Media sex and violence has surprisingly little effect on real-world behaviour. looooker.com/wp-content/upl… link.springer.com/article/10.100…
