The internet is built to give us what we want: validation, connection, thumbs-up, and animated hearts.
But what are its hidden costs?
In my new column with @Medium, "Buy Yourself," I explore how technology influences who we are and how we interact.

@walterkirn The pilot told us weโd have a view of Yosemite Valley in two minutes. So cool. Why donโt more pilots go out of their way to say things like this? Also - Salesforce tower peeking out of the fog.
As a golfer, I also love trying to identify courses from the air!
@LouStagner@LouStagner what type of 10-foot putt is a 10-handicap most likely to make? Intuition says uphill and dead straight, but I feel like the answer is actually either flat or slightly downโฆ and maybe with a tiny amount of break, so thereโs something to read. What say you?!
@minakimes I somehow ended up singing the โCinderella dressed in ~yella~โ jump rope song to the tune of the royal crispy chicken song and now I donโt know whatโs real. The # of syllables isโฆ exactly the same?!
@LouStagner paraphrasing what I would guess @nntaleb's reply to this would be - "a golfer averaging 200 yards off the tee will be ok playing a course that has a 6700+ yard option (and will play from ~6,000), but a golfer averaging 275+ will never be ok playing a course that doesn't."
