@paulg Why is that even a @twitter problem?

@paulg A variant that guards against stupidity?

@paulg our social networks aren't 'social' for empathy yet. perhaps public networks aren't by nature.

@paulg You could, but then you would have to either target it to a restricted subset of people, or to change human nature.

@paulg technology is no the problem, we are!

@paulg if you could create a world where that doesn’t happen it might be a successor to our current one…

@paulg @sfslim I think Twitter is addictive precisely because it's fast and has flash crowds, which directly yield the lynch mobs.

@paulg Something where you designate 10 moderators, and 3 of them have to approve it before it goes live? Interesting...

@paulg you might have to re-engineer human mob psychology first.

@paulg It already exists. It's called Facebook.
