      This is really true for me. I think Twitter makes me not just a better communicator but a better thinker, by forcing me to be precise and anticipate objections to my views (Blogging and other public writing can do the same, but on Twitter the feedback loops are especially tight)https://twitter.com/benlandautaylor/status/1363564853281976321 …

      Obsessive precision and pedantic clarity isn’t just good for your own thinking. On social media, it’s also an incantation to ward off the fuzzy-headed. When I get sloppy, I am justly punished with sloppy replies.

      I find it fascinating that this seems like almost exactly the opposite of how someone like @eigenrobot describes handling twitter, where the goal is to be intentionally imprecise (or at least illegible?). Might even also train better thinking, but through the opposite approach.

      Unrelated, one of y'all should definitely go on the other's podcast, you're both super fun to listen to

      anytime ☺️ re: imprecision and illegibility, my guess is that it trains the same skills and requires the same anticipation; only the response is different

          Ooh true, if the mental exercise is "correctly predict how people will interpret/respond to this", you're doing the exact same exercise. Future job interview question: "We have a 20k follower twitter account you can use, write a tweet that will get ____ response exactly 7 times"

          Oh my god you should totally use that question if you're ever hiring a nanny (or vetting your daughter's prom date).
