The more we increase the amount of information that we share with each other, the more we may understand each other.

Empathy is showing care and concern for someone else because you have a shared experience with that person.

I do not advocate for alignment of information flow, because alignment is inherently biased.

Instead, work towards openness.

  • be very careful with twitter. tap “Not Interested” on content that is dopamine-inducing. I use it briefly every few days to discover new machine learning papers or technologies, but you have got to be careful not to scroll for longer than a couple minutes. at that point, there’s diminishing returns, and you’re wasting your time. if you can’t resist scrolling, the app is a net negative and you are obligated to cease usage immediately.
