Absolute gem in

ās FAN. To paraphrase: Ppl who are blindly confident are unlikely to worry about being blindly confident So if you worry about being blindly confident, you likely donāt need to worry about it as much as you do (esp if worrying holds you back from doing what want to do)

Thereās a throughline in these 3 seemingly disparate
@visakanv.com
tweets: specificity. Lots of latent fears prevent people from being specific: - of loneliness - of rejection - of failure Counterintuitively the opposite is true. Specificity makes connection, acceptance, and success more likely.

I woke up thinking about the internet. In my lifetime, billions of people began communicating with one another across the planet, daily. It is hard to overstate the significance of this shift for our species.

This point from
@visakanv.com
reminds me of the classic
@romanmars.bsky.social
axiom: "Always read the plaque." Because they're both talking about the same thing: context. Context has always been important, but even more so in a world with the internet full of hot takes and context collapse.
