Have you ever wondered if you have anything interesting to say? Some days it seems or at least appears that everything that could or should have been said already has been said. Look at Twitter or politics, it appears that there is always nothing new to be said except to blame or to tear apart the "other." And not even there, look at what is being posted on any social channel.
Now the question is, is that just self editing, an avatar of the true person. Personality once removed? Perhaps.
One may suggest that the onset of the Donald Trump presidency has provided the American people permission to be less civil in society. Tell how it is, no editing.
To be honest, I've been reading less and less of the news. I've been wanting to hear something different and not the same whitewashed narrative that comes from being either a liberal or conservative outlet of information. But information has become wholesale.. wholesale by the way that there is plenty of it and we have yet to acclimate to the idea that there is so much.
Don't get me wrong, I find this wonderful and enticing. But without growing up to what all this information can bring and then the technologies that have the ability to generate information... well lets just say that we need to carefully consider how the information is made, and where it comes from. And then, using some high level thoughtful understanding of context.
