Did he begin answering the question, drop some big philosophical terms, and then just drift off into here is what I think we should do about climate change in 4 steps...?
- dahfizz 4y agoIts a Twitter thread. Emotional, incoherent ramblings is the standard.
- jefftk 4y agoHe goes back to the main topic after a few tweets on his current climate work. It's actually a super long thread: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1586955288061452289.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1586955288061452289.html (But I agree this is weird)
- permo-w 4y agohe does come back to the point after his little side-piece about trees, but after a while I didn't feel he was actually providing any valuable information, so I stopped reading
- cwkoss 4y agoI find it surprising and a bit disappointing that so many HN readers find the manic meandering of yishans thread persuasive
- snowwrestler 4y agoYes, he is leveraging his audience. This like going to a conference with a big-name keynote, but the lunch sponsor gets up and speaks for 5 minutes first. We're on the thread to read about content moderation. But since we're there, he's going to inject a few promos about what he is working on now. Just like other ads, I skimmed past them until he got back on track with the main topic.
