Last year's media scrutiny of politicians' bookshelves undermines your point a little. https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/brexit-news/michael-gove-and-sarah-vine

  Interesting that they consider Ayn Rand alarming enough to name her right next to David Irving, a notorious Holocaust denier, or, more precisely, diminisher. Edit: I, too, have one book by David Irving in my bookcase - among 900 others. I read it, I found his way of twisting of the sources disturbing, but I am not going to burn it in the name of Love and Peace. But unfortunately I can see this being used against me in a court of Twitter.

    The Holy and Unerring Court of Twitter is the reason I've got a cron job deleting my old tweets automatically. I've seen people in more prominent positions than me being badly burned by a 10 year old tweet. I see no point in saving stuff I've said 6 months or a year ago. If it's something worthwhile, I'll make a blog post out of it and store the markdown file in git.

      Then why tweet at all in the first place?
