"Anyone can at any time slip away from what has been publicly conceded and relapse into the hidden nonpublic." Martin Heidegger Recently I have decided to take a break from most of social media, it has been consuming my time, and filling my soul with nothing but despair and angst. I am not a luddite and obviously use technology and engage in forms of social media. However, I have noticed time and time again that is not free, and the cost is too much to bear.
Man we are on the same page here. I've felt so much better after deleting my Twitter account earlier this year, but I do fall into the instagram trap or refreshing videos. Instagram is insidious because its so mindless that you end up flicking through stuff for an hour without even noticing. I told myself, what is the point of havign this, it does nothing for me. So I deleted the apps off my phone and only bother when I sit down or repost something. I think I'm going to limit myself to this place only.
“Lead us not into temptation, is not one of Meta’s mission statements.”
A high point in what is an another great post. Can I quote this?
Thank you Jake, and please do. Would be honored.
