If I wrote a trashy pop-sci/psych book, it would be called OPTICS: the intersection of marketing, persuasion, spectacle, allusions, fashion, aesthetics, crisis management, social engineering, the Instagramification of reality Ha. Sounds fun actually https://t.co/G0MYjtGJM6
I would use this picture in the opening explainer for “why I wrote this book” I grew up looking different, so I always had to be mindful of how I came across to other people. At some point it felt like a cruel burden. Eventually it became a superpower https://t.co/CUyzqHaHOt
And I feel like it’s worth writing bc I feel like people ought to get better at this. The culture wars we’ve experienced so far are just the tip of the iceberg. Things are going to get wilder. We need high-functioning, mature adults to manage the conflict https://t.co/cl0Yk25IPV
Did I just start writing a third book? while I'm still editing my first book, and collecting preorders for the second? ... yes https://t.co/ZDKnhEY1yV
