Another way to know weak arguments is when folks continue shifting their point without acknowledging it.

And empirically, the point they eventually anchor on is the most polarizing one because the goal isn’t to make a good argument, it’s to get attention.

My takeaway is that many people don’t actually know how to articulate themselves. I see words being used that mean a certain thing, but the conclusion the poster arrives at with the words makes no sense.

A lot of the arguments have poor premises. And people are generalizing to broad negative statements when they mean a specific thing.

We should do better please.

@jayhemz @darasoba What do _you_ mean by scale? And what’s your definition’s source?

[ayo (padawan) @_alternatewolf]

Ah, also articulation is a required skill in this _agentic_ era.

If you’re going to push for someone to get dragged, at least make it a sound argument.

[ayo (padawan) @_alternatewolf]

This tweet argues the following:

1. Nigerian employers don’t contribute anything to the talent ecosystem except complaints.
2. Because of 1, Nigerian employers are bottom barrel.
3. Because of 2, drag the Moniepoint CEO.
4. 3 assumes the Moniepoint CEO is bottom barrel because premise 1 is assumed to apply to him/his company.

But 4 is _evidently_ false because they employ thousands of people and they have at least 2 programs targeted at building budding talent.

I need them to drag that moniepoint CEO well because naija employers are bottom barrel, they don't contribute anything to the talent ecosystem except complaints.

@s1ntaxe770r @Risevest Not even sure how to complain. If I find an app doing similar things with a better experience, I’m probably moving.

[ayo (padawan) @_alternatewolf]

@Risevest's in-app support system and USD deposit flow could be better. Sometimes I have a good experience, sometimes I have a really frustrating experience.

Personal hack & (I believe the most efficient) to upping your confidence is to simply do hard things. No number of self help books can replace that ..

Everyone woke up with a useful motivational quote today. Well, thank you. I’m gingered 😁.

Nobody is going to discover your genius if you keep it in your head.

Consistency mehn

Most people don't have the discipline and this is what separates people walahi. Go and check the greatest in your field

Jefferson the Founding father and the 3rd president of america , in his letter to John Adams, identified a natural aristocracy among men, founded on virtue and talents distinct from the artificial aristocracy of wealth and privilege.

I would say discipline, whether positive or negative, is the true separator. Highly Successful people are consistent. And to Jefferson's point, you cannot cultivate any virtue or talent without discipline.

Stop treating your capabilities like personality traits and start treating them like construction projects.

The cost of avoiding structure is that every day has to be renegotiated from scratch.
