@AtIssueCBC @RosieBarton @acoyne @ChantalHbert @ShachiKurl @InklessPW So tired of Canadian pundits (like those I’m watching right now on #atissue discuss NAFTA) thinking it’s somehow completely self evident that Trump is completely irrational. Not practical, and secondly easy to refute. A complete echo chamber -makes the analysis boring,useless

Social media is very positive and profitable for a narrow set of people at the top of the distribution and is likely a net negative for almost everyone else.

Most haven't developed the skills to use it well. It captures a lot of attention and emotion for generally little reward.

The news allows you to dedicate massive amounts of energy and attention to things you probably cannot impact while the things you can impact go unaddressed.
