@jamesshelley that sounds reductive. I keep “in touch” (for various values of “in touch”) with a crowd of people I’ve met in very different places over the year. It’s a mix of a newspaper’s social page, a yearly Christmas letter and a long-distance, letter-based chess game.

@jamesshelley I’m fairly certain I have something valuable to contribute. Hence, social media is mostly one-way for me, and my primary value is the new ideas I’m exposed to and can integrate. It wouldn’t occur to me to value what you do. Thanks for the perspective.
