my twitter philosophy, which informs my content philosophy, which is informs my life philosophy, is something like... pay attention to the sticky riffs in your conversations, and embellish them, and then use them as landmarks to navigate by, and pave the desire paths https://t.co/e0sOJHf1ju
people ask questions like "how are you so confident" and "how do you remember all your tweets" – it's all sort of the same thing. I'm confident because I know my stuff, I know my stuff because I have this magnificent memory-palace, it works because I allow the emotions to guide https://t.co/rEXGdNXTqb
once you have a few good riffs or talking points or whatever you wanna call them, those are like buoys or lighthouses that you can navigate by. they are like major cities in a trade network. you can build out everything in between them. connecting them creates additional wealth https://t.co/imdz5PNVjt
and here's the really wild thing: this is a multiplayer co-op game. we don't have to do it alone. we can build desire paths to each other's thoughts. and all of us are enriched by the wealth created by the trade https://t.co/QTwCgc8t15
If we do it really, really well, I would actually bet that Twitter could ascend into legendary status relative to all the other social networks. 50 years from now this part of Twitter could be looked back on as THE place to be, across the whole Internet https://t.co/GIO36SQpuv
I'm not sure that anybody who works at Twitter even realizes just how powerful the potential of this is https://t.co/MTME1P4pmz

it’s really happening https://t.co/zOu5v9vYCL
Now that more of us are playing the threading game: As we compete+collaborate effectively articulate things we all care about, And weave each other’s thoughts into our respective webs, The desire paths will assemble a mindcity paved with the best individual thoughts
