i once went down a deep rabbithole out of curiosity to learn more about this lady – her name is Crystal Thierry, she recently-ish turned 40 years old, she strikes me as funny and smart and sort of a proto-egirl from the early 2000s before everything got algo-optimized Image
she reminds me a bit of Aella in that she would post stuff that was sexy but also goofy, like there's always a bit of this sense of "i am a weird nerd who happens to be in an attractive female body, what do?" ImageImage
she's from alabama, which i think explains a lot. there's a certain vibe i get from people like this, kind of like "sharper than the small town they're in/from" but more nuanced than that. she reminds me of hayley williams too, in a way

(this isn't her natural accent, she's… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
the vibe i get from pics like this is "I know i'm hot, but also i am in bumfuck nowhere, and i want to acknowledge that rather than pretend i'm not"

to offer a comparison, here is a pic of me in front of a garbage dumpster. if i were an attractive woman i'd do what she's doing ImageImage
this is a more recent picture (she still looks great!!) and the visual vocabulary reminds me of one of my favorite pics from another internet friend, quoted below Image
anyway i think she is very cool and i hope she is living her best life, thx crystal for sharing your hot nerd goofy vibes with the world
for the people coming here via the For You tab, next up check out this thread about chartreuse, it's very satisfying

Obama is still the only POTUS who was born after 1946. He was the only one born after the partition of India. Gandhi's assassination. the Berlin Blockade. the coinage of the term "Big Bang". Mao's proclamation founding the PRC. the signing of NATO. the Korean War. Image
only POTUS born after the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1952, after Everest was summited for the first time in '53, after the Fellowship of the Ring was published in '54, after the first Disneyland opened in '55, after Elvis dropped Heartbreak Hotel in 56, Sputnik launched '57

at almost every threshold there are a bunch of people who set up a basecamp where they discuss how to cross the threshold. some of those people do go on to cross the threshold, but those people tend to then become incomprehensible to most of those who are still in basecamp
one might say “not all thresholds”, but in the model I’m presenting here I’d argue that thresholds that are easily crossed are not real thresholds. it is useful to demarcate the thresholds at precisely the boundaries people fail to cross
often the reason for this is that the people before the threshold are operating with a set of beliefs/assumptions that are incompatible with life beyond the threshold. My instinct is to say “this maybe doesnt apply to physical things like sprinting” but then, Daniel Chambliss: Image

over the years I’ve found there’s a discernable “signature” to the way people are confidently wrong vs the way people are confidently right. it’s hard to pin down to any one element though. it’s discerned more ecologically. confidently wrong has a clunky bluntness to it
the wrong tend to overuse words like “only” and “never” and often get kinda needlessly aggressive. it’s like they’re trying to bully you into accepting their position. the person who knows they’re right can be more chill and is often kinda laughing about it

A complication tho,
is when the person who’s right is also anxious, for whatever reason. This *does* happen often, and idk what the % of each quadrant is altogether. Probably domain-dependent too

I have a lot of thoughts about this, as someone who both tweets a lot and likes reading books

I think for starters a lot of people do themselves a disservice by comparing their current/adult selves with their tutorial zone kid selves who read when there was little else to do
second, I think as people accumulate socialization there’s a lot of “books I should want to read, books I’m supposed to read, books I ought to read” etc which muddy up the list of books you’ll actually read, which is the books you simply want to read
third, and this is related to the first point, I think people have this mental model of reading as something you set aside hours of uninterrupted time for. lots of ppl fantasize about reading books in 1-4 sittings. But they never quite have time for that. But funnily enough,

connected a few dots i’ve been simmering on for years now

oversimplified: one of the reasons there arent ~“simple solutions to everybody’s human problems” is that what sets off a cascade of insight for someone at one tier of wretchedness can worsen things for someone below
the recent prevalence of the phrase “skill issue” is a useful example to gesture at. it’s a scissor that can cleave a peviously nebulous group into camps of people who feel energized and people who feel demoralized by it
for private individuals, this is basically a good thing. ish. mostly. sorta. you want to be at least mildly polarizing enough that the social reality around you rearranges itself to suit you.

or rather, we cant escape or avoid this. it’s always happening! similar pattern as:
