Basically I don't think it's something you can do in the presence of a thing like twitter because of the participants whose goal isn't communication.

Our political and economic spheres have been run by the swine for too long, and the planet's back is breaking. The second order effects of only giving the brash and thick-hided a voice in society are everywhere, causing permanent harms. Let's start making space for the wise and sensitive types, and make pearls abundant.
