Decided to literally just not include a title tag in anything I make in the future. https://t.co/9rS91vVIeG
Gonna disrespect my audience and not even give an proper intro. If you found my content its because you used a search engine anyway and are curious enough to click on a piece of writing with no title.https://t.co/zQW4ShSn4J
Literally gonna just publish my notes raw.https://t.co/uboOsW4YpJ
I'm not even joking, you're reading them right now.https://t.co/rcSELGIuik
My 'dumbbell' strategy is to write longform tweets. One of my threads is literally 300+ https://t.co/E4unGrzj8R
This is great, like everything so far, I literally do the opposite.I learn from people I wanna teach, and teach people I wanna learn from. 😂https://t.co/dur597yXYa
I don't do this at all. My tweets just evolve over time as I listen to the ebb and flow of my infostreams as I try to arbitrage overlooked insight.https://t.co/8DGDhKapzI
I specifically go out of my way to use my own words and just ignore what other people are thinking about. If the people reading my tweets can't read it, then they aren't an epistemic peer and are likely outside of my inferential distance anyway.https://t.co/XjV64qTnwM
That being said I love answering questions! This one is spot on https://t.co/Uo3jU8TA10
I do use headlines, but they are for• Making the content memorableand helping people navigate when they don't have links handy.https://t.co/i9iDENYvXB

Ironically the book title referenced here was heavily min-maxed to specifically game people's attention by manipulating google search.https://t.co/2AaaDyHaKr and has little to do with strong copy.https://t.co/XA9CJ7FqHi
When I was a child, I learned I could scam kids by just talking to them & convince them it was in their best interest to do something against their interests.The framework I use to reason about this space is literally from studying propaganda techniques.https://t.co/vbMRMAPq9a
There is a powerful sorcery in language. I make an active effort to subvert the norms in marketing and ad copy because I know how harmful they can be.It frightens me to see people spreading related memes without thought about their origin.I sell ideas.https://t.co/0eOk2cI6py
Thinking about how to manipulate people's thoughts so that I can be understood is at the core of my struggle as an autistic person. That I see these weaponized to sell products makes me nervous about this space. It looks like psychopathic manipulation.https://t.co/T4f1eI8jxa
Looking deep into hearts of man and ripping it out to eat it like a chenoo too focused on shellfish gain to fully understand the power being wielded.They say the pen is mightier than the sword. That's because words wielded well can take down nations.https://t.co/3rsmxRmWxa
This desire for power over other people's whims? It consumes some people, and others are too naïve to see when the psychopath comes to manipulate their community.There's a reason they're called confidence men.https://t.co/LKBcNaJXja
I have many threads on exploring propaganda history. I literally derived a networked based theory of information contagion that mirrors viral spread from it. I wrote the thread to warn myself because I write for future me.https://t.co/Dd4xJY3pkR
Some of the scariest people in the world are those who can feel sympathetic fear, but have learned to shut it down. They are the ones who know how to torture you emotionally to get what they want.That's what I see in these marketing masters... danger.https://t.co/kCfVmlD16d
In writing this thread, I realized that my skills at reading people combined with savant like ability to analyze and predict a person's social cultural background and health would make really good at finding marks. I'm scared of people like me.https://t.co/wU0awpG0b1

@balajis @naval People like me, but with malicious motives, target amplification nodes to ripple a ideas out. Subtle programming of a society via secondary and tertiary contagion. Some might call it NLP. I call it Magick. Others call them rumors, shibboleths, sorcery.https://t.co/s1LxqQiyyS

This thread here talks about these marketing techiniques in a more mutualistic tone. Trying to help people find what they want instead of selling them a lie. This approach is much more fruitful.Learn to be valuable to people is what builds real wealth.🙏https://t.co/ECwybEN7FO
If you're going to generate a gigantic threads of thinky mcthoughtfluencer garbage with no meaning, at least make it so all the links to the books work.Or better yet, just link to the source contenthttps://t.co/hWZILaDgARhttps://t.co/8MRUsItiFI😂https://t.co/LISSsafBGr
This space is over-saturated with people buying and selling ghost-writing services or paying cheap virtual assistants to write listicles in order to appear knowledgeable about a subject. You're being suckered into an informavore trap that preys on gullibility.
If you wanna spend your time following people who aren't just dumping money into a machine to appear to be an influencer in order to sell you something, you need spend the time tracking down first sources and reading them. You can't vet this noise for veracity if you don't.

While you all were chasing money, I spent time learning about health and then reversed a neurodegenerative disease, got ten years younger, and now I spend my time telling people to #eatshit.I did it for free.https://t.co/Xfbk1ZSNyt

Half tempted to raise funds to build a fake influencer botnet to saturate the market with garbage GPT content and fake accounts so that people stop falling for this bullshit and actually learn something valuable.https://t.co/PRvWbY3Otf
The news is bad on purpose to make you click. Lean into and become an influencer today!https://t.co/b4ZExMr6il
The amount of human potential we could free up if we got people to stop falling for these thinkfluencer traps and instead actually went out and built something valuable and chased their own curiosity? I think we'd create a new golden age for humanity. https://t.co/NuzWqxapYT
- be a jerk- shitpost- take everything seriously, even the jokes- fuck around and find out- post infrequently and in sporadic bursts while being annoying to others.- write for myself- don't think about anyone but future me- rant even when not askedhttps://t.co/DrBG5q8avz

Did you know that if you become an expert at accent recognition you can predict where someone lives by how they pronounce certain things? This lets you get inside their sense of kinship and trust you. Then you can make the sale.https://t.co/7eDqwmQGov
With good NLP techniques and human prompt manipulation you can even guide them to say key shibboleths and manipulate them into giving away key details you can then weaponize against their kinship drive. https://t.co/VJC4C6n50P

I have traced a similar accent phenomena along the east coast. You can even pick up on trends as language spreads among early YouTube content. Now with stuff like Whisper being released, I wonder if I could do that on purpose. https://t.co/bqU2GzTMTs

A good sales man is like a good doctor. His keen sense of reasoning and active attention process allows for a diagnosis rivaling Sherlock Holmes.https://t.co/BHEaFDOo1a
A good saleswomen is probably even better as a doctor, her sense of smell likely being enhanced and better affinity for detecting color in the face (tetrachromats rock) would let you do things sherlock couldn't dream of. https://t.co/RdHZI4hOro

Hypnosis is fun to research.https://t.co/XeuYEUsf8e
I read thru this guy's blog and got bored once I realized i wasn't learning anything. It turns out if you dig into propaganda theory and thought contagion enough, you effectively learn how hypnosis works implicitly.https://t.co/QRRwitIUG4

Did you know you can adjust how priming langauge and the McGurk Effect works? Some might call this *self-hypnosis*. Me? I call it banishing a demon. https://t.co/1yGlwr8VZ1
Why demonology?Because you can prime your mind to feel emotions just like they do on reality TV.hells_kitchen.mp3https://t.co/2qFiHFY4BD

The first thing you must understand about Magick, is it's not the spoon that changes, it is yourself. Assuming your spells and incantations have impact on the world is fine, but recognize that it is often a second order effect of your own behavior change.https://t.co/IhW1lGsPNW

@tjrwriting @aaronzlewis @EpsilonTheory @ScottAdamsSays That's because Scott has a fascination with hypnosis and has a model of neurolinguistic programming in his head that maps well to the way that political framing is done at large thru memetic engineering systems. It's an alternate model of 'spin doctoring'. https://t.co/UjFnn5wEBh

Something I've been overlooking due to my autistic disposition: I just assume these things don't matter.I should stop projecting autistic ways of thinking on the past, or at least learn when I'm doing it.Are "please" and "thank you" akin to 'spell' or ritualized incantation?
Do I need to spell it out for you?https://t.co/GzhWZyJY75
