I saw somebody on social media on Threads who was saying that their rule on this is that before they try to persuade someone they know of something, they ask three questions. I’m not saying I do that, but that struck me as a very wise rule. That before you ever try to talk somebody else out of their position, you ask three questions
1. about how
“Major life changes—moving to a new city, starting a new job, ending a relationship, getting married, having kids, etc.—will often make life harder for the first 100 days before improving.
This is not always true, but it’s a nice reminder that experiencing early struggle doesn’t mean it was a bad choice.

The illusionary perception that social media has brought us closer has faded. Living a performative life for the Internet is a recipe for emptiness. What has been revealed is that we are alone. We crave connection. Wherever we end up going, we want it to be more real. This means we should probably stop supporting centralized platforms, even if they look like they’re trying to do the right thing. Will we ever learn?
