Saying takes so hot you don't fully agree with them yourself

I'm trying to lean further into having takes so hot that I don't even fully agree with them myself like last night I was just like "yeah but watching TV is suffering"

turns out that I actually could sort of explain what I meant once people were like "what?" but I wasn't actually even sure, myself but turns out you can just jump straight to the thing then find out which prereqs are needed

Prerequisites are mostly fake. Success usually consists of just trying to do the thing and backfilling what you need, and hoping that survivorship bias is on your side today.

here's my latest version of this. when I first wrote the first sentence I was like "wtf this is nuts nobody will believe this idek if I do" but then I was like "whoa wait no I see how it's true"

if the thing you're calling "giving" doesn't feel good it's not giving it's nonconsensually loaning someone goodwill that you're gonna charge interest on twitter.com/relic_radiatio…

@QiaochuYuan has been an inspiration for me here (I actually came across this tweet just *after* tweeting the above! but it's exactly the spirit - "watching TV is suffering" is hilarious)
