      I've gotten a lot of strange looks over the years when I've told people that the thing which comes after Twitter will start out looking like Notion on a graph database. (was even harder before Notion) But that's exactly what we need if we're going to survive the 21st century. https://twitter.com/Conaw/status/1196326503895535616 …

      This talk was recorded 10 years ago, about my first startup Localocracy. Cool to see what has changed and what hasn't. Still the same driving principles with @RoamResearch https://youtu.be/Xb6PMb-cL5o

      Damn the beard and hair make a huge difference. I would not have taken the kid in the video very seriously.

          So much of what we did from 2009 - 2011 was wrong, but if had been no @Localocracy there would be no @RoamResearch. Why I take @emmalsalinas and @genzmafia so seriously now Because @mojobaer, @heif, @jenny8lee, @ibarguen and @ariannahuff took me seriously then Dangerous youth.
