| schestowitz | I wish he'd post somewhere other than Twitter; I keep reminding him. In Twitter I only "follow" EPO, Florian, Ben, Ed Snowden and Wikileaks. I also track what Swapnil and Zemlin say there... but for other reasons. Twitter doesn't have anything to offer unless you enjoy mental pollution. I find it very disorienting because you jump like crazy from one topic to another every 5 seconds! | May 21 08:25 |
| schestowitz | Don't get involved in social control media if you're not already in it and built following. It harms the mind, so to speak... reinforcing BS, rewarding falsehoods, never mind spying and censorship. | May 21 08:25 |

| schestowitz | If you check the bash file, you will see why. I have to do this manually otherwise, at my end. | May 21 08:25 |
| schestowitz | I am trying to get into the discipline/regime where I work on articles while posting these -- to the point where maybe I can produce ~10 articles/day like I once used to. The workflow is still improving. I automate where I can. | May 21 08:25 |
| schestowitz | >> PS - some of the comments I received in social control media are so so | May 21 08:25 |
| schestowitz | >> shit that I cannot even post them in IRC and won't. The Internet k00ks | May 21 08:25 |

| schestowitz | So it seems sometimes, but one has to provide proof of it, like leaks from PR agencies... there's that old conspiracy theory about the CIA being behind conspiracy theories to discredit some discussion topics... but if you check for actual proof of this conspiracy theory, there's none... no smoking gun you'll find. So it's circular in a sense. A conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories. | May 21 08:26 |
| schestowitz | >> Mind you, I was ALWAYS very strict about reading ALL comments. But at | May 21 08:26 |
| schestowitz | >> some point the comments get so appalling that you have to wonder, "why | May 21 08:26 |
