        I’ve been challenged to spontaneously tweet 100 different opinions about experimental methods in architecture. This is occurring at the suggestion of @vgr, who is promoting this kind of exercise as a new format for tweets.

        Venkat's having me do a 1 opinion per like challenge. 5 extra since I have few followers. Sort of freaked out when I saw this because atoms don't seem much like a topic for opinions 😬 so we'll see how this goes. 1. Atoms are a terrible way to conceptualize the physical world. https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1205949931506155521 …
