I love making fun of your skepticism of me just because:
1. I’m a philosopher whose work will outlast whatever you do with your life, even if you become president.
2. I’m braver than you.
3. I’m happier than you.
4. Saner, too, which is weird given what I call myself below…

This tweet is cocky, but I fail to see why I should produce the work I produce at the caliber, scope, and scale it already exists at, be ignored, and have to pretend to respect the meritocratic class ignoring me (as they in their next breath brag about how intellectual they are).
“You didn’t play by our rules.”
Guess whose rules you haven’t been playing by.

On top of everything else destabilizing about my work (birth was a lottery bitches) I’ll spend the final weeks of my dynamite creatively mocking the reasons why I’m ignored so that what right now feels like reasonable skepticism becomes Pontiusian by the time I finish mocking it.
Just another little dynamite.
“Haven’t you repeatedly said you don’t want to go viral and you’re scared of a lot of people finding your work because a human train-wreck would now fall on top of your head?”
Yes.
But damn, let’s not act like my work being ignored is the media respecting my fears and emotions.
Yes.

“Do we even have any reason to believe they know about it?”
No.
But I’m going to blame them for ignoring me anyway b/c:
1. I hate the media.
2. You know they will. C’mon! I’m making a bet here, we both know they will. I’m betting my reliability as a prophet here—they will! 💍
No.

I go viral after something bad happens.
This isn’t a threat (what the fuck you guys—am I God now? can I control human history? fuck off).
This is a reasonable adumbration of how human nature works.
If nothing bad happens—I never go viral.
I created a #winwin situation for me.

Say something relatable to deintensify this thread:
I'm thinking of a place.
And it feels so very real.
Just moving through the dark.

Have I scared any friends by going in this shamelessly existential direction? Of course.
Imagine if you woke up tomorrow and realized your best friend had put together all of this.
Funnily enough if my best friend did all this I'd think it was fucking awesome, but I'm "quirky."
