"Ads Don't Work That Way" still a great essay but this example really didn't hold up. @KevinSimler have you reevaluated any of your ideas here since?pic.twitter.com/KTwAICRa8t

Yeah I’m clearly missing something with the bedsheets. I found that essay fantastically hard to write because for any given example, it feels like there are 6 things happening at once. I still think the general principles are right, even if some of the examples are off.
re: 6 things happening at once - started writing on wilderness a few days ago and realized what I was trying to do was superimpose a dozen distributions (e.g. bell curves) upon each other because I don't trust words anymore

but yeah, i really wish there were better patterns for how to talk about these kinds of domains. “superimposed distributions” kinda gets at it.
