This is what bedevils me about Twitter. I'm rigorous about pruning my Following list to keep it intellectually honest, so my main feed is pretty great. I end up reading replies to thought-provoking or provocative tweets because there's often additional context or good-faith rebuttals in there. But holy crap, those nuggets are buried among the ravings of the absolute stupidest people in the world. It feels poisonous to my epistemology, but the good stuff is _so_ valuable. I suppose the solution is to try to pick topics that nobody cares about? This was tough when Covid was an informational lifeline, but maybe I can just change my interests from economics to... Quantum physics or something.
