Mostly ancient primitive microorganisms got fossilized into oil right? When extracted they mostly run much more sophisticated macromechanisms and superorganisms What if our tweets are the input to fossil knowledge that will be extracted in higher complexity form by future AIs?

Every time I search my own tweets with a term, I’m impressed how much smarter the results page looks than my own longform. It’s like the smaller the scale I think at, the better the emergent results, except I have no clue how to craft the emergence.

When I try to do this deliberately, like using index cards for brainstorming etc, the results are not as good. You can’t script emergent intelligence top-down. If your aphorisms are more value per letter than your essays, you can’t just assemble essays or books out of aphorisms

In the ordinary sense, the idea of assembling your tweets into a curated book (kinda like Taleb's Bed of Procrustes) sounds like a lame way to produce a book, but what if you could assemble tweets to become a book that's better than any book you could actually write? 😱🤯
