In some ways it feels like I’ve already written most of the book I want to write on Twitter, and it’s just a matter of dumping out the shredder and assembling a picture. Reverse shredding of thoughts born pre-shredded. It’s very annoying.

personally don’t understand the cultural capital allotted to published authors, when all we want is the tweets anyway. but if society cares and someone could make money doing the labor of transcoding from tweets to books, godspeed

one of my consulting gigs kind of looks like this, Venkat style sparring + editing / writing coaching. but like Tiago says being a published author is virtually meaningless at this point

With the explosive growth of podcasts seeking ever more obscure guests, “being interviewed” will soon carry no prestige. What will be the next previously exclusive thing to be bled dry by digital media?

as says, the world is run by credulous technophobes who think book binding means legitimacy and tedX means hip with the youth

The problem with books etc is that they’re easily faked as credibility signals. You could write a 250 page book that actually has an idea of that scale, or you could just fluff out what should be a twitter thread with filler. For too many dumb gatekeepers there’s no difference.
