From the always excellent,
@cowenconvos. Reid on science fiction: "there’s too little utopic science fiction..." "Maybe the science fiction narrative form is the right way to cause that discussion and that reflection and that thinking." https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/reid-hoffman/ …pic.twitter.com/HxQQ0GnM1L

When these two individuals are both saying the same thing, we should probably listen.
@danwwang and@reidhoffman on the powers of science-fiction. "Science fiction is uniquely capable of provoking imagination for radically better futures." https://danwang.co/2019-letter/ pic.twitter.com/pQM7xYC47h

While being appreciative of the role context plays in these situations (e.g. one-on-one or group), I've found that
@nntaleb is on to something here in Antifragile: "I find it better to whisper, not shout. Better to be slightly inaudible, less clear."pic.twitter.com/vVmjtrn2kL

Reminded me of a humorous story surrounding Michelangelo's only signed work, Pietà. TL;DR: After overhearing bystanders admire it, thinking the creator was from Milan, he angrily snuck into where it was set up & chiseled his name along Mary's torso. Removing all doubt.pic.twitter.com/9HhvUw1W28

On the transcendent possibilities of "solid air": "...if ever there was a material that represented our ability to explore the vastness of the solar system while at the same time speaking of the fragility of human existence, if ever there was a blue-sky material—it is aerogel."pic.twitter.com/EptX4qBukB

Why is the sky blue? "The reason is that the shorter wavelengths of light are more likely to be scattered than the longer ones, which means that blues get bounced around the sky more than reds and yellows. So instead of seeing a white sky when we look up, we see a blue one."pic.twitter.com/20ZY0jmOAu

On why dark chocolate is so bitter: "These are molecules such as caffeine and theobromine, which are extremely bitter and astringent. They activate the bitter and sour taste receptors and complement the sweetness of the sugar."pic.twitter.com/gSSa9xUVgJ

Concrete reaches "full strength" not in days, but years: "Although concrete reacts with water to harden to a reasonable strength within twenty-four hours, the process by which this artificial rock develops its internal architecture and so its full strength takes years."pic.twitter.com/FEqMXLkQzJ

Paper as a time-traveling medium: Reminded me of a
@TimFerrissShow w/@pennjillette where he "time-travels" everyday by reviewing past entries at 10, 20, & 30 yr intervals. https://tim.blog/2020/01/09/penn-jillette/ …pic.twitter.com/Am9wHfrgQ7

Steelmaking & King Arthur's sword, Excalibur: "The fact that the process of making steel was, necessarily, highly ritualized also helps to explain why this material came to be associated with magic."pic.twitter.com/bj0oJS1Afg

One of the most underrated channels out there,
