I looooove this topic.
For every like on this tweet, I’ll write one new opinion on focus and specialisation.
1 like = 1 opinion. Bring it on! twitter.com/vgr/status/120…
1. One of the most precious gifts that Texas gives its residents is identity. Live here long enough, Texans will let you wear the uniform, and learn you to do it properly. twitter.com/vgr/status/120…
100 Opinions on this -- prompted by @vgr
Will have to break for a call any minute, but will do best to free associate in meantime. twitter.com/vgr/status/120…
And my other assignment from vgr is 100 opinions on mainstream parenting, whether anyone likes this or not :-). I probably can’t do them all in one sitting, but I’ll start anyway.
One like = one opinion (+reason) about Elon Musk.
Took the @vgr bait to do a one-opinion-per-like personal challenge. Live-fire stress test of your brainstorming capacity twitter.com/vgr/status/120…
Topic I was assigned for the @vgr 1-opinion-per-like challenge. Upper bound is 100 hot takes. I lived in NY for 30yrs, SF for 8.
I think I have more SF followers so I’ll get fewer likes if I start w/ “Aside from & , NYC is generally better; it’s a far easier place to live.” twitter.com/vgr/status/120…
Alright this is the moment you’ve all been waiting for — 1 opinion per like on facial hair. Go!

1. 2018 was peak nature and wilderness in my personal mythopoem.
I spent 1.5 years living in Colorado.
Up until then & now I've always lived in cities >5 million people.
Nature and Wilderness forms a key political cornerstone for Americana consciousness. twitter.com/vgr/status/120…

Okay let's do this. 1 like = 1 hot take about glitter
Not sure if I have this many opinions on the topic but worst case scenario I can always post photos of my glitter collection twitter.com/vgr/status/120…
1/ A lot of people blame scientific misinformation and crackpottery on a lack of scientific literacy or critical thinking skills. For much of scientific misinformation, it is not a lack of information that is causing the problem nor a lack of education
