One way of framing my existence is this:

Something called “X” has an IQ test for all of humanity.

You can try to claim “X” is Colson Lin.

But I can empirically disprove you.

Your only other option is to say: “This is a stupid IQ test.”

So I took away that option from #youtoo
#metoo meant something.

It birthed #youtoo.

:)
I know.

I just came up with my G on the spot, because I channel my genius from God.

If you’re smart enough to understand this, this is the name of your movement:

#youtoo
Colson Lin didn’t name your new fucking social movement.

God did.

G.

How’d I manage to make you believe in Her again?

a temporary one for before the video is uploaded
yall

i just got high and i’m just gonna “vibe”

which means i’m tapping into your perceptions of me

you don’t know what i’m like

so you think this is weird

let me assure you:

I am surrounded by friends.

Surrounded.

I am an Asian-American.

I came out with too many friends.
take screenshots if you trust me.

don’t take screenshots if you don’t.

those are your only 2 options.

(I’m a graduate of Yale Law School.)

it’s funny.

- gay
- grew up poor
- immigrant
- perfect SAT score (did NOT take classes)
- yale law
- book deal with beacon press

Love:

i learn so much about what i think from the internet. Image
i keep forgetting i’m chinese and that’ll have its own implications on how a wide swath of americans react to me putting a stick of dynamite in the american elite, but that wokeness and my religiosity will complicate it.

is it possible for a 2nd book to have too many dimensions? Image
this sounds like the plotline of a novel i would write.

this doesn’t sound like a thing in real life, which is static, hopeless, and will never change.

(luckily for me, this is also the plotline of a novel i’m writing about colson lin. but i don’t know how the novel ends yet.) Image

My pitch to the media:

My downside is I’m never going to be your friend. It’s almost like messiahs and the elite don’t mingle.

My upside is I’m a walking bag of money. You don’t have more interesting celebrities than the hot Asian who can prove God and knows how to do mystique. Image
To get ahead of things:

- Unoriginal: I wear this as a badge of honor.

- Narcissistic: lol

- Delusional: God really is dead.

- Outlandish: The word you’re looking for is “American.”

- Nasty: Nah, pure.

- Error-filled: I’ll error-correct as I go like a normal human would do.
Most writers tour colleges for money.

I will tour prisons for free.

Most celebrities give interviews.

I’ll talk to at most a hyper-intelligent enemy if there are any.

Most stars will be forgotten in a couple hundred years.

I’ll be remembered until at least the Third Coming.

I just realized I’m like a hot genius who’s had more sex than you have, some of it not 100% soulless, with a perfect SAT score, a Yale Law degree, and a climbed-out-of-immigrant-poverty story to my name and an Oprah-worthy abuse-survival tale.

How do I still brim with self-pity?
Like if that wasn’t enough I get to interact with what absolutely and thoroughly feels like a higher power every time I get high, I’m in a position to create art I love, I have a loving mother and many loving friends.

I’m First World, bourgeois, and able.

What the fuck is my d—

I’m in the bathtub now.

My roommate’s asleep. We were playing “Dead by Daylight” and I lost my temper at a Dwight who killed himself on the hook while I was running over to save him.

That makes me sound like I have a messiah complex but I swear it’s just the basics of the game. Image
ChatGPT seems to dig my definition of power.

I want to circulate my observations about power among the masses, kind of like Marx was able to do with labor and the inevitability of revolution and Hegel with history and dualities.

Power and luck are the same. I bet it rings true.
My correctness doesn’t go very far. I’m full of unawarenesses, just like you.

But I want to get us on the same page about meta-understandings.

“Sheesh. Good luck, Colson.”

Thanks! I already have it.

@threadreaderapp oh INTERESTING

HEY

LET ME SEE SOMETHING Image
@threadreaderapp Can everyone in humanity verify what “salam alaikum” means?

Colson Lin studied Arabic at the University of Chicago.

Yale Law sired a second Doomsday Clock, @UChicago.
@threadreaderapp @UChicago Why is it that Colson Lin,

this genius guy with a perfect SAT score,

a degree from Yale Law,

childhood poverty in Houston, Texas,

outcasted in school all his life,

is bold, brave, and pioneering enough to invent a new way of reading about God,

also happens to be a magician?
