Over the years I may be learning to use Twitter. Recently I've started to make threads, although not posting all tweets at the same time. I recommend you link/chain yours too, if you want to find them later
For me, first the pinned tweets:

Too usual anti-strategy:
1. We have to do something
2. X is something, X is a bad idea
3. No other ideas better than X
4. X is the best idea, we do X
Missing:
1. Time: read, ideate
2. Context, situational awareness
3. Why, purpose, goals, objectives
4. Communication, perspective
Nothing says “doomer” more clearly than the idea that “everything is deteriorating for everyone everywhere” all the time (since sometime)

@EvaVlaar Europe has been predominantly white for most of its history. It has done quite well during that time.
Now bureaucrats have decided whites should be a minority in Europe (moreso at a global scale).
Coincidentally, everything is deteriorating for everyone, everywhere, since then.
“Whereas 40 weeks of the typical male worker’s income in 1985 could provide the middle-class essentials for a family of four, by 2022 he needed 62 weeks of income—a problem, there being only 52 weeks in a year.” https://t.co/fvPi08vzxt
@swardley@RemindMe_OfThis@RemindMeBot@remindmetweets $MSFT has the upper hand in AI and a chance at providing in Azure higher level services that small vendors build over AWS, taking both margins and staying competitive.
$AMZN could do more and better on the hardware/physical side, if
suitable for 2-pizza teams.
Time will tell.
Scheduled tweets, one of the best features in this decaying platform, now without bots (paid API) to schedule reminders [CHIRPBIRDICON]🪦

You *can* define general intelligence rigorously, down to a mathematical characterization. Doing so helps clear up the immense confusion the term has been generating recently.
We have made epsilon progress towards generality so far.
I’m happy to have squeezed ~5 years more of value from Twitter [CHIRPBIRDICON]
This is a scheduled tweet,
What’s cool today?
Are @substack and @viamirror still alive?
Where’s the best stuff I’m missing out?
@vrandezo@doughofstadter Coincidentally, I was reading that "yesterday"
I have scheduled this email to see the responses "in the future" (I have no answers on my own, but it seems interesting)

So I tried to build a tech company from Norway and here’s what happened:
1. Two years of building without almost any money/funding, better part of a year without salary
2. Raise VC and become one of Norway’s first unicorns
3. Face unrealized gains wealth tax bill of many x my annual net salary. ofc the company is loss making and all the investors have preference shares so I can’t take out any money.
4. Call out publicly that this does not make sense. Independent of level, taxation needs to happen when you actually make money.
5. I move to Switzerland because no politician cares/listens.
6. I still don’t get any tangible and sensible answers to my criticism of unrealized gains tax, BUT I do get put up on the “wall of shame” at the socialist parties offices…
I’m Norwegian and I love Norway but the socialist politicians are taking the country down a dark path. It’s a real life Atlas Shrugged.
@brandonjcarl Interesting thought experiment, though.
1. Use all income to buy ₿
2. Use it as collateral. Borrow against it for all expenses
3. Nobody ever sells. ₿ price tends to infinity, allows ≈infinite borrowing
4. Infinite money glitch!!
5. Infinite inflation. Prices are stable in ₿
Knowledge and productivity compound. Given two people of similar ability, the one who works more will outproduce the other exponentially.
The more you learn; the more you can do. The more you do; the more you learn.
