After many repeated requests*, one of my best tweets (so far) is now a blog post! *about half of which were @visakanv😜 https://t.co/8qP6ApK4pJ
the original Classic tweet 🎩 https://t.co/CzEXNYtJlf
@QiaochuYuan @visakanv My latest frame for this: everyone is basically living in a dream mashup of their current external situation and their old emotional meanings. Like dreaming you're at school but it's also on a boat somehow. & as in dreams, somehow the weirdness of this mashup goes unnoticed
I could've sworn that in addition to him DM'ing me about it multiple times Visa also tweeted at me about it but I haven't found anything except this: (on which note, maybe good timing for a salon on this? @TheAnnaGat shall I email you?) https://t.co/nwBYFaduGC
@Malcolm_Ocean @TheAnnaGat @nibrasibn @ElodesNL @m_ashcroft @liekovarpio @pragueyerrr @tasshinfogleman @interintellect_ I actually do my salons by thinking “what do I wanna learn from other people” 😂 as always I’ll tell you you should keep fleshing out your dream-mashup idea. so you should do a salon about it and invite people to tell you their stories so you have more detail, resolution
I've also turned the whole post into a thread, so if you want to get seduced into it tweet-by-tweet rather than opening up a tab and forgetting about it for weeks, I've got you covered: https://t.co/95xa8DPm54

speaking of typos, here's a list of neologisms in this blog post (that I added to dict while writing it) - transformational - reconsolidation - unworkably - learnings words not recognized by another dictionary but I'd already added them to mine: - sensemaking - ongoingly - grok
@Malcolm_Ocean hm strangely difficult to find, I must have some other phrasing that I usually use https://t.co/6i4ppVryiZ
Seeming paradox of positioning: once you figure out your positioning, you might think that it’s more intuitive now, so you don’t have to talk about it But that’s only true inside your head. Outside your head you still have to repeat yourself 100 times to make it stick
@Malcolm_Ocean this? https://t.co/pIVP0mIzSz
@visakanv yesssssssssssss and then that gets QT'd like this: https://t.co/riVbZR6eOm
The primary alternative to this is when the master has a follower who recognises his brilliance, and conveys it to others. If it’s truly brilliant, you’ll have to *fight* for people to see it. They won’t see it otherwise https://t.co/sY2z5j1PCQ https://t.co/pIVP0mIzSz
@visakanv fyeah https://t.co/NY1BSY6W4U
@visakanv and also by finding your QTs on venkat's tweet, I got to this thread/tweet of yours: https://t.co/VSqZ1BWOf5
I am trying to help people see that they can be much more successful than they realize, imagine or expect, because it’s their expectations, imagination and models of reality that are miscalibrated there is a silly naïveté to this endeavour but it’s also very rewarding
@visakanv ofc we could have gotten to that thread via *my* original tweet, but this was a good scenic route! https://t.co/xP22R0J2Gd
@Malcolm_Ocean cheerfully meandering around the mindcity is one of its great delights 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
@visakanv @Malcolm_Ocean How are you so good at finding old tweets? @thlpr ? Or do you just use Twitter's search and are just extremely good at remembering key words of your old tweets? This one is just from last year so it's not as impressive but I've seen you quote stuff from 5 years ago! Crazy stuff
@TheJointleman @visakanv @thlpr there's some discussion of search technique here: (found this myself with twm twm ofc) https://t.co/jXBzhRF92n
@Conaw @gmws82 @visakanv @ultimape @GRITCULT @KevinSimler @vgr @context_ing I do this with a custom Chrome (Brave actually) search engine. - tw searches twitter - twm searches twitter with from:malcolm_ocean pre-typed - twv searches twitter with from:visakanv (just added that last one but have been meaning to for awhile) https://t.co/PcESmEHzDk
@TheJointleman @Malcolm_Ocean @thlpr I just use search a lot https://t.co/9oY3HEZbhG
