Hello Familia - Welcome to Vol. 7 of Move Fast, Think Slow. If you want to join other curious, smart readers of this newsletter you can do so here:
Last week I sent out the first post of the year in which I stated the goal to post more dispatches in 2022 (I only did 5 in 2021 đ¤Ś). Mario at The Generalist grew his email newsletter to 40,000+ and his wisdom on how to accomplish that kind of audience is consistency. Easy to say. Hard to do. I want to post regularly but donât have the time to go deep on every dispatch. So whatâs the solution?
For now, I am going to test out a new kind of dispatch called âquick knowledge drops.â These are posts that will be high and tight. This week I run down some of the more interesting Tweets I noticed last week, surface Daily Stoic perspectives worth marinating on and share one of my favorite photos I took in 2021.
Before we dive in let me take this moment to thank you, dear reader. I appreciate your patience and participation with Move Fast, Think Slow as I sort it out. As I said when I first started, my hope is that you will find use in the information being shared and the meditations to find your center. And with that, here is this weekâs dispatch.
Quick Knowledge Drop | Tweets of Note Week of 1/17
I get made fun of by my coworkers for still using Twitter. âMitch is using Twitter for all of us.â LOL. đ Yet, the truth is I find it to be super informative (and at times funny) if youâre able to find the interesting fodder. Here are some Tweets that are worth marinating on.
I was learning about it along the way, often through reading, often from people and ideas marginalized by culture, erased by the collective selective memory we call history, because they were in some way too other, too ahead of their time or apart from its mores, saw too clearly through the willful blindnesses of their era or bent their vision too far past its horizons of possibility. In the margins of books, in the margins of life as commonly conceived by our cultureâs inherited parameters of permission and possibilityâŚ
Today Dr. King is a hero but 54 years ago most of America didnât see it that way. And yet, he had and still has so much to teach us.

Wow (stay tuned for my next post a deep dive on why TikTok will continue to shift culture).
Wow wow thatâs pretty wild when you think about it.
Wow wow wow. If shareholder value is the end all be all for publically traded businesses then Mr. Nadella deserves all the loot.
Things look to be heating up for a big old geopolitical flex fest.
This right here be TOO real.
