Figured it’d make sense for me to lay out my theory on controversial tweets because I feel like it’s 1) misunderstood 2) interesting to people (“why does he do this?”)
1. Sorry to disappoint you but I am not the second coming of @sweatystartup - I don’t know much about that guy

but I know enough to say that I think different. Also, Twitter/social media isn’t how I make money. I don’t tweet to increase my following. When you sell childrens toys to educator in particular, it’s probably not net profitable for me to tweet most of what I write
2. I tweet what I honestly believe. I get some stuff wrong and I sometimes change my mind. One of the great things about Twitter is that if I’m wrong and I tweet it I’m going to find out. I subject my thinking to criticism via Twitter for this reason. I end up long-term right!
3. I trained myself to be mostly unaffected by criticism or people browbeating me into being the same as everyone else. It bothers me much less than the normal person. Sometimes I find it funny like the guy who announced to the world he was unfollowing and then wrote #misogyny
4. There are a whole class of opinions that are a) controversial b) correct c) in need of being said because it can change minds in a way that helps people. I just have this weird itch to say all this stuff. That’s why I don’t care if I’m losing money. I think I’m doing good.
5. I get bored. Today I was at a furniture fair with my family and I was tasked with pushing my kids stroller. Had a thought about Gloria Steinem. I bet she never had kids. I was right. I let it rip. Im not proofreading this thread. I don’t plan 99% if what I write out.
