I’ve grown sick to death of social media. It is an absolute waste of my time. So I decided to start blogging again.
It would be easy to rant here about social media. I did rant here, originally. But the analysis is tedious. So let this serve as an explanation: the nation is angry, far angrier than I’ve ever seen it. While there are legitimate reasons for the anger, the unreasoning rage that is consuming us isn’t legitimate. It’s unhealthy and unproductive. I blame social media as well as legacy news sources for fanning the flames.
I refuse to play in their sandbox anymore.
As I write this, I have exactly 0 readers. It might be that I never have a large number of readers, or even any readers, network effects being what they are. But at least, if I’m here penning my thoughts, then I won’t be on social media getting into self-destructive arguments. That’s a win in my book.
