I made this diagram about what fascinates me.

Are you interested in any of the same things?

Let's talk! I'm here on Twitter to make friends 👋

I'll explain the diagram in this thread 👇

@TheSaltySealdog Yes. Wish I could stay, Twitter is great, but I've failed to manage its downsides for me:

*Too addictive & distracting
*Too "mimetic", my desires and fears mimic others. Examples: AI fomo. Guilt & jealousy as a father, husband, provider.
*Too easy to stumble upon sexual content

It's time for me

@LeahLibresco @dylanmatt I empathize with this family. My income bracket is similar (top ~15%), our oldest is starting college, our budget is tight. We don’t pay $9k/yr for youth sports, but we do pay much more for Catholic school tuition. FAFSA doesn’t count that, and says we have no financial need.

@LeahLibresco @dylanmatt To be fair, their kids are teens/young adults, and yours are younger, right?

My family of 7 moved from 4 bed/2.5 bath to 5 bed/3.5 bath when our oldest was 13. Big quality of life upgrade.

@gtmom Papert’s book Mindstorms is fascinating. You can see why people are tempted by constructivism!

@JLLiedl Oh, I’m Veronica’s husband. She asked me to post the link to her friend’s Etsy shop 😅

“Jesus wouldn’t be a part of the winning team. He’d associate with the lowly, the humble, and here we are” she says as she gestures to the White Sox stadium

@fr_faulkner @JLLiedl That's my wife! And one of my daughters, looking over at us off-camera and laughing 😅

When I have children, they will not be my own. Instead, I will have someone better than me be the genetic father of my children. I further think that it would be profoundly immoral of me to not optimize in this way. You can read it all below!

@turing_hamster @Austen Based on my experience teaching the first ~20 Lambda DS cohorts:

Students in the earliest cohort(s) show awareness, interest, and desire to take action on an unproven opportunity…

It’s a super-strong Selection Effect that’s hard to replicate.

@gtmom These surgeons accepted detailed data collected about their performance, when they trusted it was only for private self-evaluation and self-improvement, not to publicly “name and shame”
