@patrickrhone I think about this a lot, for example when it comes to digital privacy and people say "Just buy a Mac" or "Just buy an iPhone."

@patrickrhone Excellent post.

@simonwoods One would be better off saying, “Just pay a $40 annual subscription fee to a trusted VPN service.”

@simonwoods @patrickrhone It’s true—there’s a certain element of the Sam Vimes Theory of Boots where I’m still using the (pricey) macbook that I bought in 2012 versus I know people who have been through four or five computers in that time.

I appreciate the breakdown of self-improvement into the most basic and achievable of steps. Recognizing how our thought patterns define our expectauons and how we can use our own ability to reconsider our self-narrative is a powerful yet free opportunity. Thank you for sharing.

@sproutlight My pleasure (and thanks for sharing you link and insights). @Annie is a treasure.

@patrickrhone Yes, exactly. Again, the web can offer platform-agnostic tools. I just hope those of us who see it as an important part of this equation can all do do enough to see the survival of independent alternatives to silos.
