Just Let It Go

Thanks for the comment @tmo. Online communication is a new thing for us humans. You're right in that we haven't adapted to it, maybe not even be able to adapt to it in our lifetime.

I've taken this advice in regards to “online life”, itself, in the past six or so months (or longer?), and I Just Let It Go in terms of needing/caring about anything that “needs” to be conveyed in an online space. As @Javo said, face-to-face discussions are much more valuable, and from a biological standpoint, my body is not “evolved” in a way to respond (at all) to text on a screen/phone – having in-person, consequential feedback (both TO and FROM) is the only thing that scratches any type of itch for me.

So, I've been mostly dismissive of “a thing” I say/see/do online as holding any significance, and likewise of the things of others. It's like the “FOMO” approach to leaving social media (as Missing Out WAS/IS the point of leaving the networks to begin with), only applying it to the Internet, in general.

Nice post, Dino. Hope this comment finds you well :)

Very well said @Javo

I agree, it is hard to have real conversations online, and most of the time it is not worth wasting your energy even trying.

On the other hand, I believe we need more offline, face-to-face discussions and debates. It seems to me we have forgotten how to be tolerant to other people's opinions and express ours in a respectful and well articulated manner, we have to practice more! In that sense, offline conversations help to remember that there is a human being on the other side, and our attitude naturally adjust as a consequence.
