30,000! 🥳 good to have you. ask me anything
nope, I have been planning/studying/strategizing for this basically all my life, I have a pretty good sense of what I'm doing and I know how I'd respond/adapt/evolve as necessary https://twitter.com/nerdposterino/status/1385459181398933508
I like receiving questions, they are a great way for us to get to know each other better. it's one of the fastest and most direct ways to have minds from different backgrounds and contexts playing with one another https://twitter.com/Austen/status/1385459036875677697
the piano! 🎹 I used to find it staggeringly intimidating as a kid and so I learned guitar instead, and now I know enough music via guitar that the keys don't seem as intimidating. turns out music is a lot simpler than people are taught to believe https://twitter.com/TheEricAnderson/status/1385459167373131776
I'm good!! super well rested from spending a day/night in a hotel room for no reason. I highly recommend this for anybody who can afford it. if you've been procrastinating on it go do it ASAP. eager and excited to get down to work again https://twitter.com/komal_42/status/1385459263816966146
the future, seems like an obvious choice. I would ask them to tell me their version of human history as they know it, in as much detail as they can manage. I imagine there would be some interesting details that would inform the way I think about the future https://twitter.com/kushaanshah/status/1385459564951130126
not too worried about it. i'm all over the internet, if people want to find me i'm pretty easy to find. i'm generally more focused on doing interesting work. tho I should probably put up an email signup list on my personal website... https://twitter.com/grantadever/status/1385460624461733889
1 word: friends

2 words: excellent peers

10 words: the respect and admiration of people you respect and admire https://twitter.com/strangestloop/status/1385460689226014721
I've written 150,000+ tweets, and about 800,000 words (700+ sets of 1,000+ words) on @1000wordvomits https://twitter.com/LeviHerrera4/status/1385461170111270912
11,279 days old.

I will be 1 billion seconds old in February next year https://twitter.com/metaphorician/status/1385462135824822274
yes, there are many different visas with many different personalities, identities, goals, interests, inclinations https://twitter.com/JohnnyHedonic/status/1385461526132297728
"decisiveness", if that's a point. otherwise maybe "sleep", so I sleep better, which would lead to me being more awake/alert → more decisive. tho that's still kinda cheating bc the bottleneck to good sleep is not sleep itself but like, restfulness... https://twitter.com/punkarelly/status/1385462628437397504
sadly no. maybe after we renovate our place hopefully this year https://twitter.com/goosonesq/status/1385461472533180417
I never went to college/uni. if I could go back in time, I would be even more defiantly aggressive about following my own interests and curiosities and doing whatever tf I wanted to do no matter how much other people tried to guilt/shame me https://twitter.com/aseemthakar_/status/1385459644252839938
I will be going on lots of people's podcasts – also might start a casual one with my wife – but I think my blogpost/book/youtube ecosystem still has tremendous room for improvement. haven't written good public-facing essays in a while, eager to do that https://twitter.com/made_in_cosmos/status/1385463282799161348
"forever" is inconceivable, but if I could avoid having physical/mental ailments – neurological/muscular issues etc, I'd be happy to live maybe a few hundred years. I'd be fine with loved ones dying etc, I'd be happy to be a nerd monk for the world https://twitter.com/judahwantssocks/status/1385464072284508161
fastest way to grow an account is to define an enemy and attack them. refuse to do this because it's the equivalent of summoning a demon that will consume you and your followers with bloodlust. the good people will leave and you'll be left to stew in hell https://twitter.com/abhaybuch/status/1385460287629787136
I carry a lot of art with me all the time

it fluctuates back and forth between the ebooks and my patreon, depending on what I've been directing attention to. I also periodically do marketing consulting, which can dwarf the other two if I'm diligent about it https://twitter.com/QuicksilverPool/status/1385464960801591298
see my bio https://twitter.com/YAVIS_vibes/status/1385459398471036928
idk what would surprise you, lol. I eat mcdonalds more than people might assume/expect, I think. I must have eaten at least a thousand filets o' fish since childhood https://twitter.com/arachnocapital2/status/1385459393626447876
impossible to answer since there are so many different good things, but whenever I've been away from Singapore, the first thing I wanna eat when I get home is hainanese chicken rice https://twitter.com/anthilemoon/status/1385459636766130179
https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1128937960278093826
and I don't actually know the answer to this question because every hawker puts their own little spin on it and so like there are dozens of subtly different kinds of chicken rice that are each excellent in their own way https://twitter.com/bandeauxx/status/1385460110068260866
if you're going to break free from the zoo, you have to learn to survive in the wild

spend as little $ as possible

develop a skill that you can sell (code, writing, design, whatever)

talk to as many people as possible, esp those you respect & admire https://twitter.com/FranciscoHS12/status/1385467104787369986
when I visited SF in 2019, people offered to help me move – a place to stay, find me a job – but having that option made me realize I didn't want it. instead I want to visit every major city in the world. covid delayed this but I'm still gonna do it https://twitter.com/VivaLaPanda_/status/1385468794416500737
^ framed another way: my family/community is artists, musicians, authors, nerds, creators – global, international, eternal – many long dead, many not yet alive – and you can interpret all of my behavior as me moving *towards* them
write more books, make more videos, build my youtube audience, research + fund cutting-edge work on scene-building, discover 1,000 new interesting people, make 10,000 new introductions between interesting people, create informal communities of excellence https://twitter.com/CXGonzalez_/status/1385469932369027075
25yo visa didn't know how to make nested twitter threads yet 😂

but the real big one is that 30yo visa has made significant progress in Unlearning Coercion

at 25 I was still trying to bully myself into becoming a better person. it doesn't work https://twitter.com/tdoggyholhol/status/1385470977073577985

fixed identities are boring, it's more fun to experiment and full around. right now I'm sort of on the path of a trickster growing and evolving into a king. I expect I'll eventually get bored of that and maybe switch to being a jester. who knows, we'll see https://twitter.com/ashik_shanks/status/1385461024543756290
I generally avoid putting limits/boundaries on anything I do – I just do whatever I feel like doing until I don't feel like doing it anymore, or I feel like doing something else. I've always been Very Online bc I love it, Online is where the future is https://twitter.com/jongold/status/1385473336122036227
I have a soft spot for the Golden Gate Bridge 🌉. It's halfway across the planet from where I am, and meeting it up close felt like the culmination of an important pilgrimage. (I made sure to bring a little piece of 🇸🇬 with me)

favorite game of all time is Terranigma, underappreciated JRPG from 1995. There are many powerful moments, I think I might pick this one.

More popular/recently, I think God of War (2016) was excellently done, will probably make a video on it soon

hahaha I'd probably start by updating the profile pic to one that doesn't convey "i'm a badass and i'll beat you up" 😂

why would you want to, tho, I think you're great as-is https://twitter.com/homiliai/status/1385476713115635712
