There is a certain self-stimulatory aspect to much of what we all do in front of these little screens. We think we're talking to each other, when really we're talking to ourselves next to each other.
I approve of the colloquial use in a sense because it does capture the pedantic nature of Internet arguments & engagements very well. However, language shapes reality to an extent and medicalisation of normal behaviour is generally negative in my view.https://twitter.com/the_amygdaliad/status/1013102466311782401 …
