takeaways from aman’s data storytelling talk at purdue makes me wonder whether i should hop on to a social media platform.

this is a working pros & cons list, as i wade through this dilemma

pros:

  • connect with more people that i won't physically meet (like aman); this is what cody also affirmed.
  • be updated (i largely feel like i miss out on things); observations from itp & specifically kezia.
  • possibility of more work (like how cody & sai get)

cons:

  • gated platform; goes against how i think the internet should be. but what does it matter what i think? morals.
  • insecurity?
  • numbing of senses (but not if i have a system to just post and not look at things)
  • saturation
  • living under a rock
  • time

i like zach’s approach of posting sketches from: notes & thoughts from zach’s writing on 10 years of sketching.

cody says he posts the process.

luke dubois posts serge patches.

i wonder if i’ll get sucked into the vortex.

current decision:

no.
