How come easily inspired people don’t get exhausted from all the inspiration they seem to absorb? They seem to be inspired by anything and everything at the rate of 3 times a minute

The key is to convert it directly into action. Like a lightning bolt passing through you into the ground so it doesn’t kill you. Also it’s still exhausting

Part of Twitter's magic is that it lets you externalize the smallest stroke of inspiration, so you can refer to it or build off of it later

I’m not easily inspired so more of a spectator thing for me

I can't tell if this is a joke. You are a prolific tweeter. And you use Twitter in an interesting way, either getting your followers to play word and concept games with you, or as an outlet for your grumpy old man persona. Perhaps I have a broad definition of 'inspiration'

I mean on input side. I’m not easily inspired by things I read or consume. Maybe 1 thing a week will inspire me. On output side I’m of course both super-inspired (as in making stuff up) and inspiring and you all should elect me emperor and give me lots of money

I think this is actually the key shift for taming info overload. Shifting orientation from being inspired by inputs, to being inspired by what you're outputting

Bootstrapping from a seed via positive feedback. 2x2 —> thread —> post —> series —> course/video/games —> events/institutions —> secret society/underground lair —> kill James Bond —> take over world Gall’s Law in action basically. It’s my basic theory of creative destruction.
