Increasingly confident that anybody with a substantially large body of thoughtful work has no choice but to go a little mad in some way, where by ā€œmadā€ I mean deviant from social norm

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 there’s a chasm that cannot be bridged. There’s a tragedy to this. You could see it as comedy and laugh, which has a little spark of madness too

Thinking now of Pythagoras allegedly saying ā€œdon’t disturb my circlesā€ to the soldier who killed him, who must surely have thought the guy to be mad/weird af

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 don’t. I think this is something I have to sit with, process and let go. I trust I’ll work through it, but in my current state there is a grief and despair to the alienation

Staying ā€œsaneā€ when you’re thought to be ā€œinsaneā€ is harder than it sounds, especially if you’re 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 I’d do without her showing me how to do it

I’m also pretty confident that what I’m 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

I know I’ve been talking about this for a few weeks now. I’m in a sort of liminal, cocoon/transition state. Bear with me. I’ll taper it down and get back to focusing on the core work.

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

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

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

I know I’ve been talking about this for a few weeks now. I’m in a sort of liminal, cocoon/transition state. Bear with me. I’ll taper it down and get back to focusing on the core work. I can’t *not* talk about it, but I can’t 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 they’re 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 you’re 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 you’re going to do something difficult, it’s so important to have a diverse crew you can trust. I hope I have earned that right
