  8. I think in social media we're seeing people expressing themselves who, a generation ago, probably couldn't read or write, much, at all. And here you see them in all their glory, saying stupid shit, getting shot down, hearing other viewpoints. It's messy and it's beautiful. And we're all learning. We all have our trigger buttons, and somebody out there who is eager to push them. Does it go off the rails, sometimes? Heck, discussing the Red Sox at the local oasis is something that's brought SOME to blows for generations. What I see are a lot of people kind of working things out for themselves. And when you're in learning mode, you're in child mode. Again, it's messy, as children are messy. But it seems to me like people are growing up. People are developing thick skins against trolls. Slowly but surely. We're learning to tune out some of the noise. Yeah, there are some who're going to take social media down a rabbit hole, like the 60-foot nephelem they see in satellite photos, or Sasquatch in yet another jiggly, blurry video. This kind of shit's been going on since there've been people. But I think the overall tide is rising. If I can argue with a Swede about Nanny government, and we both keep it civil (if crude and irreverent), that's probably a good thing. Just for a Swede to know that there are people out there who think differently, when maybe everybody around him in Sweden is afraid to hold certain opinions, for fear of cultural marxists destroying his social life and his standing in the larger (very conformist) community.
