the cool thing about writing is that very often the coolest things you say are not the things you're trying to say, but the things you accidentally-peripherally invent on the fly to support you trying to say the thing you're trying to say in this case, "micro-rigorous" https://t.co/8RKpjrZfJO

quick sketch of my personal (ideal) style: move fast, hit hard, wipe quick and move on to the next thing, but be micro-rigorous in making sure that each new thing quickly considers all past things, and is threaded accordingly

I wrote this on a morning commute on the way to work without any particular cue or impulse, just haphazardly stumbled upon what is IMO the best phrase I have ever written https://t.co/Gkljzm4K67

In a sense the media is a sort of moving Potemkin village of understanding, constantly adapting and reconstructing after-the-fact

12. "a wolf in bro's clothing" is the kind of lovely phrase that I can never come up with intentionally; only accidentally in conversation or while pursuing something else. it's funny how much of writing is just... noticing what's good https://t.co/oirF6fGDik

I can never be this succinct when I'm put on the spot; it always happens while trying to explain something else. Peripheral compression https://t.co/Okn1LRd2St

Isn't it interesting how some thoughts can persist w/o being "contaminated" by the latticework of the legible central govt of consciousness
