This AM, at about six', I felt like checking Facebook. If we've seen each other in the past month and a half, I probably told you that I decided to cut Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for 3.5 months.
After 1.5 months, I am back on Twitter. After I had lost money on the stock, I was a bit pissed but also find decent value on the platform itself. Even Fabric looks like a very interesting product.
But then I re-activated my Facebook account.
I was served only with crap and irrelevant posts on my timeline. It looked like Facebook had about 50 years old because that was the average age of the people I saw on my timeline.
Posts from a distant uncle, my mom's friends, random people that I don't even recall. There were also some close family things that I was already aware of because with or without Social Media we tend to keep in touch with the ones we care for and love.
Algorithms need to training. Repetition is king. Like losing weight, the more you put effort towards it, the better it gets?
I just don't have any desire to "train Facebook" on my preferences.
Account deactivated.
Next Attempt: Instagram.

Your inner-peace should not be dependable on anybody. The fast track to inner peace is to meditate and treat others with love and empathy.
As I read Nassim Taleb's Skin in the Game, I ponder about the need to have skin in the game to build something valuable, enduring, and long-lasting.
