Roughly similar to how adults must seem a little mad to children. You can do your best to be respectful and kind and so on, but thereās a chasm that cannot be bridged. Thereās a tragedy to this. You could see it as comedy and laugh, which has a little spark of madness too

The unbridgeability of the chasm is giving me a lil dash of existential-ish despair. Realizing that no matter how much effort I put into talking with people, listening, relating to people, modelling their minds, working to understand them, I will always come across as mad to some

I suspect I sometimes prefer to be disliked by people who get me than misunderstood by people who donāt. I think this is something I have to sit with, process and let go. I trust Iāll work through it, but in my current state there is a grief and despair to the alienation

Oh whoops yeah I keep mixing them up š https://t.co/D4QGK9xrAH https://t.co/j8JJEW4PLo

Staying āsaneā when youāre thought to be āinsaneā is harder than it sounds, especially if youāre a high-openness person who tends to consider what people tell you. When enough people question your sanity, you might go mad questioning it yourself, or overcompensate with resistance

Hayley Williams is a truly remarkable human being for coming up with Petals For Armor after 15+ years of car-crash contact with public life. To actively work to be vulnerable is to volunteer to get your ass beaten for love. Idk what Iād do without her showing me how to do it

Iām also pretty confident that what Iām talking about here is a glimpse of what drives celebrities mad, sends them spiraling into addiction and drugs, self-harm, suicide, etc. I always wanted to understand it. Now I think I understand it. Must seem mad to want to understand it

Hahahah. Weāll see https://t.co/zHplMJuAEb https://t.co/7qQY7FcqyN

I know Iāve been talking about this for a few weeks now. Iām in a sort of liminal, cocoon/transition state. Bear with me. Iāll taper it down and get back to focusing on the core work. I canāt *not* talk about it, but I canāt make it my main thing either https://t.co/9BI1hQQmD2 https://t.co/3NzFJS6wdR

The thing I really enjoy about this exchange between Obama and Seinfeld is that you can see that theyāre both very curious people, intellectually rigorous, each dealing with unavoidable filter bubbles, and each recognises that the other person has a valuable perspective https://t.co/rGQGfv0f5b


I think I experience this madness more than even some people who have >10x my follower count because I must be the only sucker who reads all the comments At some point you have to stop reading the comments But then youāre kind of flying blind I suppose CEOs deal with this

I suppose at that stage you have to switch models and start delegating. How crazy is that? You have to delegate your *sensemaking*. If youāre going to do something difficult, itās so important to have a diverse crew you can trust. I hope I have earned that right

Every person is a team effort or theyāre fucked. Great man theory is a fucking crime against humanity https://t.co/DSlRt2mKCl


Hah, fuck https://t.co/Gvy1KOndck https://t.co/GWA8E3mA5i

It's actually pretty wild to think about. Basically, in each given day, you experience a sort of homeostasis, and a retrospective 'narrative correction'. My theory is that people who take notes (or build a body of work) are able to break out of this more easily than others
