The biological purpose of attention is to mediate and delimit the world. It allows us to handle the infinite complexity of reality by creating a small, navigable field. An aperture through which we can perceive, process, and act. Attention makes agency possible. The algorithmic…

this might be the core issue today, the original sin. Kant said abstraction is more important than attention. algorithms are basically abstraction machines. so much of digital media is abstraction: taking events, breaking them into clips, and building distorted world-models out…

posting > publishing anti-perfectionism. build in public. smaller loops = faster feedback. posts become drafts → drafts become publishable. re-edit and repackage everything. always be posting. always be posting.


Language is representation. All representation of reality is incomplete.

Fei-Fei Li (@drfeifei) on limitations of LLMs. "There's no language out there in nature. You don't go out in nature and there's words written in the sky for you.. There is a 3D world that follows laws of physics." Language is purely generated signal.

optionality maximisation is the disease that has harmed me more than anything else

“At some point, in business and in life and in romance, you have to commit to a path,” said the 31-year-old Luckey. “A lot of my peers in the tech industry do not share this philosophy … They’re always pursuing everything with optionality. ’Oh, I need to be able to raise money…



this is the way. that's why you should use browsers to interact with webapps - specially social media, instead of apps on phone. the extensions give you some tiny bits of freedom to compose your interface.

Part 2 is out now. It’s about why the work we do in pursuit of composable systems and malleable software matters a great deal. Link in reply & background in thread!



this is what you get when the user is not the consumer

Me 6 years ago 🤩: “wow this looks dope + users will notice stories more and view them. win win!” Me after working in social for 6 years🥴: “This is never going to ship. The height of the rectangles will push down the rest of the feed causing a regression in view time of the…



we should treat algorithms as entities that you interact with, accounts that you follow and talk to. think of the twitter 'for you' feed as a person's feed with a bunch of retweets, would you follow that person? would be cool if there was a marketplace of competing 'for you'…


self compassion might be the answer to - fear of failure. getting over the fear of failure lets you have experimental mentality. experimental mentality lets you be closer to reality and truth. closer to reality = more agency

getting over the fear of failure lets you have experimental mentality. 

experimental mentality lets you be closer to reality and truth. 

closer to reality = more agency

If India wants 7–9% growth again, the next wave of reforms should be obvious: 1. 10x judicial capacity. Tech or brute force, just unclog the system. 2. Free up cross-border money flow. When the rich can only buy stocks & real estate, both get bloated. High Re prices are the…
