The internet in its current state turns the world into a sort of purgatory between heaven and hell. Depending on your politics either heaven is behind us and hell in front of us or hell is behind us and heaven in front of us. What is clear is that we're in between.

Twitter in particular embodies this purgatorial (?) condition very well. I'd like to punch through to the other side of twitter somehow. Not go to the pre-twitter state, but somehow post-twitter. But as the name implies, we have to purge our sins to get through.

Social media is toxic, in particular. Often what we hear, see, and respond to is the loudest, most extreme version of anything. It’s definitely driving the political divides.

To follow people like you who have interesting things to say....you don’t think it’s toxic? Maybe I should have said, often toxic. Apologies.

I think it entirely depends on how well you curate your activities

Well then maybe my response to you should have been: I’m here because I’m addicted.

now that's the kind of purgatorial honesty that will get us out of this state
