now it's just people yelling at each other... well mostly.

2019-01-01 13:13:11 UTC  

the Rubin Report is definitely a font of such ideas and books

2019-01-01 13:13:25 UTC  

but Twitter is just angry people in a town square yelling at each other.

2019-01-01 13:13:34 UTC  

yeah, now we're back to different sections or factions

2019-01-01 13:13:42 UTC  

we screwed up somewhere.

2019-01-01 13:13:53 UTC  

you can stay on twitter, youtube and follow certain intellectual peeps

2019-01-01 13:13:54 UTC  

but the bigger issue is that we can fall farther still.

2019-01-01 13:14:11 UTC  

everything on the internet comes through filters moderated by corporations

2019-01-01 13:14:32 UTC  

I don't think its all that bad tho

2019-01-01 13:14:51 UTC  

this is just societal flux that happens right after a communication revolution

2019-01-01 13:15:13 UTC  

like, soon after the printing press and widespread availability of bibles

2019-01-01 13:15:18 UTC  

things actually became much worse

2019-01-01 13:15:25 UTC  

for a short period of time

2019-01-01 13:15:49 UTC  

ppl went around burning witches based on certain phrases, that which was previously ignored by priests

2019-01-01 13:16:06 UTC  

that's fair I guess.

2019-01-01 13:16:12 UTC  

similarly, we're in a constant weekly witchunt

2019-01-01 13:16:33 UTC  

constant cycle of offense followed by apologoy and firing

2019-01-01 13:16:41 UTC  

soon, ppl would get tired of it

2019-01-01 13:16:49 UTC  

justs like the witchhunts of the past

2019-01-01 13:17:44 UTC  

or not..

2019-01-01 13:17:53 UTC  

because tech seems to keep disrupting

2019-01-01 13:18:02 UTC  

thus my concern

2019-01-01 13:18:20 UTC  

we need a digital bill of rights. Do that, and we're PROBABLY safe from an explosion of digital censorship?

2019-01-01 13:18:23 UTC  

maybe we're at a stage of constant turbulence

2019-01-01 13:18:28 UTC  

also possible.

2019-01-01 13:18:50 UTC  

just when we think the distruption of certain spheres by tech is settling

2019-01-01 13:19:06 UTC  

they're already coming up with the next ones

2019-01-01 13:19:11 UTC  

true. Hm.

2019-01-01 13:19:27 UTC  

Well, I'm about ready to abandon most digital media entirely.

2019-01-01 13:19:33 UTC  

this is frankly getting rediculous

2019-01-01 13:19:41 UTC  

like what ?

2019-01-01 13:19:43 UTC  

news ?

2019-01-01 13:20:10 UTC  

mainly discord (controlled environment, not an open town square like twitter) and SOME gaming

Twitter isn't a very open town square imo

I just get banned and called a bot all day

Last time was my 30th account

But Everyone should go on a media free camping trip every month or so

2019-01-01 14:08:41 UTC  

i'm on twitter

2019-01-01 14:08:51 UTC  

I follow a very select group of people and publications

2019-01-01 14:08:53 UTC  

its good

2019-01-01 14:09:01 UTC  

nobody who "outrages"
