Why I Am (Probably) Leaving (Big Tech) Social Media

January 8, 2021 By Alan

Update January 9, 2020

I have left Facebook and Twitter. Please see Staying in Touch below for how to contact me and the social media accounts I may still be on.

I am likely to leave YouTube relatively soon, and will be reducing my Amazon footprint, although probably not completely deleting my account.

A Hypothetical Situation

Speech bubbles
Can I get you to join me in a hypothetical?

As I understand it, historically Playboy had some really edifying articles. Meaty interviews of public figures and so on.

So the joke when I was younger was, “I only read Playboy for the articles.”

(In the spirit of full disclosure, when I was young I “read” Playboy and other pornographic magazines, and not just for the articles. I am not proud of that and I don’t really remember how edifying Playboy’s articles were. I had other, sinful reasons for opening the magazines.)

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.”

April 4, 2020 By Alan

It is, indeed, important to notice that my argument so far supposes no evil intentions on the part of the Humanitarian and considers only what is involved in the logic of his position. My contention is that good men (not bad men) consistently acting upon that position would act as cruelly and unjustly as the greatest tyrants. They might in some respects act even worse. Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth.

Today, I unhooked from the Matrix. It is disorienting, but I needed to take the red pill.
