potential reasons against - words alone are not enough - reify the wrong thing - illegible, confusing - trickier to emphasize correctly - language is overloaded - polarizing *when I went further generating this list [I edited down], items got more paranoid

reasons neither for nor against - twitter as tantra**, I've been using it as exposure therapy and lab for understanding my psychology and motivation, seeing what inhibits flow and being present **using this loosely, not solid on definition
