will my future self look back on time spent on Instagram and Twitter and be pleased?

its seems so obvious it will be a neutral negative shrug: “idk, it was new and you kinda needed to stay connected”

I’d be proud to leave behind a set of articles like vitalik or paul graham has been building up.

A set of artifacts. Complete thoughts.

I can’t imagine linking to a collection of threads. It’s too ephemeral and shallow. Too stream of consciousness and disposable.

An alternate vision is that we will leave behind a digital twin and the posts and photos will be an important source of data for them.

That’s an interesting thought too.

I’d still like to synthesize, think deeply and articulate some things. Socials don’t encourage that and I have trouble resisting it.

Hoping I can do both.
