This fairly closely aligns with why I am having so much trouble using micro.blog, a service I have been paying for since the Kickstarter. Using it just doesn't align with my read of the idea of owning my own words (I mean, I guess content is the right term but it has such a gross meaning in our degraded, hustle-ised culture). When I think about ownership, I think of having control of it. But obviously when I put those words on someone else's service, I have ceded control. Sure, Manton seems like a nice guy.

I had reason to try and explain this metaphor to someone this week, trying to reason with them that some debt is worth taking because delivering speedily is worth it. I couldn't remember this link though. Well, now I will.
I wonder if people with aphasia, the inability to picture something in their mind's eye, are more or less affected by hallucinogens.
