    For @insight, I wrote about an episode earlier in my career, and why it reminds me of the (intense) status competition on social media—and how it relates to the current debate about outsiders, substantive expertise, inertia and the dangers of it all. https://zeynep.substack.com/p/maybe-freedom-is-having-no-followers …pic.twitter.com/2lfECLXMOY

        Thank you so much. You're truly inspiring for me. I'm an outsider as well (as a meteorologist and being autistic, too) and try hard to provide scientific facts about the virus on my blog. I follow your great articles since the beginning (keep the parks open was my first one).

        Zeynap @yousitonmyspot is being modest; he has singlehandedly blogged and reported tirelessly on the pandemic in Austria, fact-checking “experts” who led us into a terrible mess. He has outperformed the media establishment. You are both wonderful discoveries of 2020. Thank you.

        This makes me miss the pre-twitter/pre-facebook internet, when anonymity was the norm, and status was kind of a non-issue, or at least far less of one.

        It seems to me that "stay in your lane" is most often said by people expressing a strong opinion on something that they themselves are not an expert in. 🤔
