      1/ People I disagree with broadly have had some aspect of my beliefs corrected by (albeit maybe not synchronously, and completely dependent on accumulated experiences) - @sonyasupposedly (high-trust) - @eigenrobot (medium-trust) - @PereGrimmer (boundary condition)

      2/ I think Sonya and I see the world differently in some critical ways, but I can suspend my disbelief and listen to her pretty easy *because* I've met and generally like her. Like, there is a lot of elasticity in that connection.

      3/ @eigenrobot idk at all, but have followed long enough to know that we have a lot of overlap in beliefs — and also some pretty giant and highly antagonistic parts. I think liking a few of his tweets have got me on block lists, but it's been good (and often fun) variance for me.

      4/ @PereGrimmer is exactly on my boundary. I've unfollowed a few times because he's said some shit that I thought was just too shitty. But then found myself following again because he was saying something that *no one* in my network was saying yet I also thought was worth saying.

      5/ Anyways, people have been talking about {mis, dis}-info a lot lately, and the focus has been on the "thems" obviously doing all the damage, and the effect of filter bubbles (and similar analogies). But a lot of times its you cutting social connections, too.

      6/ If you don't like someone, unfollow or mute or block them. That's pretty healthy. But, there is a trigger-happy version of that where you cut off people for any disagreement and differences in beliefs, and in doing so, end the social negotiations. It's an isolation driver.

      7/ Like, seriously, to reiterate — you do whats good for you. It's relatively easy for me to say this for a combination of thick skin and the ease with which I can distance myself from any of the consequences. But well-partitioned cliques have costs, too.

          (this is a very interesting thread because I think I have maybe three beliefs I actually express on twitter! And possibly only three beliefs all up)

          My abstract understanding of beliefs maps how you spend attention back to them pretty quickly, albeit with increasingly wide errors bounds. Although, I also listened to your shitposter podcast.
