When you follow someone on Twitter:

You choose who influences your thoughts.

Here are people I'm testing out this month:

@lcrothlisberger

• Just like Jeremy, low-key one of the smartest people on Twitter
• She has great takes on critical thinking and behavioral psychology https://twitter.com/lcrothlisberger/status/1359834566333235200
@tlbtlbtlb

I generally tweet about writing and startups: https://twitter.com/Julian/status/1348001394104537089
P.S. I don't follow many people because I use Twitter lists instead.

That's how I "follow" new people every month.

This video explains it: https://twitter.com/Julian/status/1350523091508576256
