Stuff you know to be actually true — for them that’s the future. If they haven’t heard about it yet it doesn’t matter that it’s objectively factual — that it’s happening somewhere. As long as they heard it from you and they never heard it from anybody else you have in fact told them the future."</p>929331http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2019-10-17T12:31:53+00:002019-10-17T12:31:53+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://refactorcamp.org/users/rustyswarfrustyswarfIndustrialist, philanthropist, bicyclist.rustyswarfRusty SwarfIndustrialist, philanthropist, bicyclist.tag:refactorcamp.org,2019-10-17:objectId=3195738:objectType=Conversation
