Paul Graham tweets agressively, but I doubt you will block him though, not everyone who tweets agressively is toxic.



and you just perfectly highlighted the toxicity of twitter in that sentence. Just because someone is popular doesn't mean everyone should like/listen to them if they do not find the person's content aligns with them.


I did. I wouldn't unblock.

> not everyone who tweets agressively is toxic.

This doesn't matter.

It's about controlling what kind of energy you let into your life.

Negative energy needs to go.


Time and attention. In my mind/book it's where you give your time and attention. I really enjoy a couple of radio shows, where I need to download the mp3 from their websites (they host/share a coupld of hours after their shows), and SecurityNow podcast.

The good thing about it, is that I only listen when I want to listen, and IF I want to listen.

Social media, slow and steady, absorb you into giving, increasingly, more time to them. Either by creating an echo chamber, or creating passions, promoting things you love/hate. Anything to get you hooked more.

Majority of the people do not filter/reduce the alerts on their phones. Good luck working on a project when you get 10 beeps per hour from Twitter, CNN, BBC, FB, IG, YT.

Time and Attention.


Paul who?
