That was well worth the time to watch.  The idea of simplification as a learning tool for persuasion is very helpful for affective communication and dealing with the core concept. Thanks for the interview.

Mike, thanks for your comment. (Isn’t Jason a great thinker, and conversationalist? He and I had never actually met in person until we did this video.)

Interestingly, the idea of “Twitter making you a better writer” wasn’t the point of the interviews. But then, conversation is mostly about serendipity.

My favorite part about the discussion was actually after the camera turned off. We talked about how writing and thinking is evolving for he and I both in our personal lives — in our role as parents– as much as in our role in social media.
