I want to try and play a game where I quote one tweet from myself from each year I've been on twitter, to assemble what I think is representative of the bigger long game I've been playing:
contained in this ongoing thread of quoted tweets is a thesis on how to go from being a nobody (I was!) to assembling an incredible international crew that will basically allow you to "retire" from the rat race and surf the waves of meaning
what’s the most quickly recurring talking point on twitter? I think it’s gifted kid discourse, I see it about every 2 months. For contrast, unpaid internships seem to be about once a year. There’s an intense “how many hours should you work a week” blowout about every 2 yrs
I know people talk about these things every day, but there’s also a sort of bigger/broader “wave” that the right posts hit + ride at the right time to reach substantially wider audiences
for those of ya'll asking about the gifted kid stuff – it goes on and on, tens of thousands of RTs and favs
(yea the halsey tweet is a false positive but, eh)
in a way people got fucked when they were told “don’t respect god” but they weren’t told what to respect instead. for me I respect what I call the light of human consciousness, which is basically kinda god with extra steps and without the coercive elements (implied or otherwise)
I think my core thesis (Visa's Bricks Idea) is that the graph paper format of presenting information is undervalued, underrated, underappreciated
if you could mouseover each box and have it display information, this is basically the densest way to display the most amount of info in a 2d space
I want something that's in between twitter threads, tweetgraph (@ollybot_redux's webapp, on the right) and a roam graph view
there are a few ways to scratch this itch
- google sheets allows more info to be stuffed into each cell
- roam makes graph view suck less
- ollybot makes tweetgraph interface into a standalone notes app
