       @strypeyWithout social media, there would be no firehose. The low-latency gossip wouldn't stay local instead of spreading globally.

       @strypey Looking forward to reading this as someone who actually does live in an off-grid log cabin. Albeit with satellite internet and very little digital detox.

       @strypey I think this sets up a false dichotomy that sets being immersed in the social stream against disengaging entirely. I don't agree that stepping away from the firehose is an abdication of agency. I think, done intentionally, it can be an act of reasserting ones agency.I think the most valuable role is to be able learn from and add to the "stream," while tying that work to the physical world, where most of our problems will eventually have to be solved.
