Three ways you can read the thread: a) Log into Twitter. b) Read the same thread on Mastodon [1]. c) Wait until I turn it into a blog post.

Can I ask as a genuine question: why use twitter at all for a post like this? I’m not trying to be a Luddite or even just anti-twitter. I just don’t understand using it for long form deep topics like this. And yes I fully understand many people do use it this way, and to them I’d ask the same question.
I answered that question elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39768125
