<< It's all hot takes, no meaningful discourse. About my only somewhat real discussions are with co-workers, who happen to have very different political positions. Frankly, I am doing it against my better judgment ( discussing political matters can get divisive fast ), but the conversations are generally interesting as the other participants are from non-traditional backgrounds so they can offer interesting perspectives. I think this is the part that is missing, but last time I started talking honestly on the train about what I think is happening out of the corner of my eye I saw a kid raise his cell seemingly in an attempt to record the conversation. I wasn't saying anything too radical ( "people are idiots" was the gist of it ), but nothing I would want floating around the net..and so I stopped. I am not sure what the answer is. Best I can hope for is that I will be able to keep my kid away from it long enough.
