@abucci To be fair, I _think_ it's sadly easy to fall into these "traps" (is this what we call bubbles? πŸ€”) -- So in good faith in return let's go easy on poor @brasshopper πŸ€— -- In the world we live in today, it is _so easy_ to fall into these bubbles it's not even funny anymore πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ -- Truths are so hard to find today with all the media that combarded at us and all the propaganda on all sides πŸ™„ -- The only thing I know to be sure of is in today's day and age (Information age?) -- Data and Information are now considered "modern weapons".

@prologic I have muted abucci. He's clearly not wanting to interact in a fair or open manner. Clearly, any further conversation with him is a waste of my time. I appreciate your attempts to act in good faith in this conversation. However, you haven't brought any material facts to light that I wasn't already aware of. You haven't directly addressed any of my core arguments. Your previous reply is super condescending ("poor brasshopper@twtxt.net"). And frankly, I find it hilarious that you're the one thinking that I've drank the propaganda kool-aid. You, sir, are the one trapped in Plato's cave. I believe any further discussion to be a waste of both of our time. Don't bother replying.
@brasshopper Oh dear πŸ˜… Sorry, I was just trying to keep things civil. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ I guess I failed 😒

This is the first actual argument I've seen on the twtverse.
@mckinley Yeah and I feel really bad now πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ I was _trying_ to keep the peace (as I always do) and probably should have kept my stupid mouth shut πŸ˜… I was not _trying_ tbe condescending at all πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ So sorry @brasshopper (_probably muted me too 😒_)_

@prologic I appreciate that you were trying to be civil. I do see that, and I thank you for that. And on second read, that last message might be a bit harsher than I intended. I’m sorry for that. I do think it’s clear to me that we’re not gonna get anywhere having a discussion in this format. I think I’m realizing this is a terrible medium for this sort of discussion. It creates a false urgency, at least for me. Maybe a long form blog post where commenters can reply in an email 1:1 would be better. I think it might allow everyone more time to allow their ideas to β€œbake” before sending.
@brasshopper Thanks! πŸ™
