I recommend spending time in my social circle: extraordinarily brilliant kids with a strong mathematical bent. The better you know them, the more seriously you take them. They're not erudite, but they're dazzlingly penetrating and original. Really inspiring.

I'm increasingly regretting what I said, because "taking seriously" has many dimensions and I meant just one, which turns out to be quite hard to make precise. Tweet in haste, repent at leisure.

I find that I am mostly inoculated against tweeting in haste, since tweets are by their nature aphoristic, and aphoristic writing is so hard for me that I must struggle to do it at all well. I think I know what you mean, though. And I have certainly repented at leisure, too.
