@Malcolm_Ocean I love this tweet because I’m now going to QT it every time I feel like saying an obvious thing, which means other people will likely also want to say obvious things too

@visakanv you've got yourself to thank for this (in part) because it's by your example and explanation that I started tweeting things for the purpose of functioning as reusable pithy QTs

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

@Malcolm_Ocean already crazy how in ~3-4 years what felt novel now feels normal twitter didn't yet natively show QTs until over a year later https://t.co/1sr9lwjcCr

Nice Here’s my #1 rec for @twitter: realize that quote tweets are a killer feature of your product. Add it as a separate part of notifications besides All and Mentions. And separate it from RTs. Ie make it “likes, RTs, QTs”. Sounds radical? It’ll push this game into hyperdrive https://t.co/sVuqnoC13t

consider something you understand that others don't — maybe a recent tweet or blog post see if you can articulate it as a tautology share results below

@AskYatharth yeah, nice! that's fucking great. reminds me of another ~tautology of mine that I haven't tweeted, hang on... (you don't actually have to hang on since I'm gonna tweet it before I tweet this tweet) ...boom: https://t.co/eYDwzYi7dD

if I try to tell someone something, and they respond with an objection that's entirely irrelevant to what I meant what they respond with is entirely relevant to what THEY thought I meant*, and that's what I need to dialogue with *otherwise they would have said something else

@Malcolm_Ocean Most of the alternative lives people like to read about vicariously come with tradeoffs that most people would find totally untenable.
