Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Platy's read, .
Rather than search for the perfect media source, right at the intersection of accuracy and neutrality, assume that every company, every journalist, every podcaster, every talking head is flawed—because they are, because they’re all human—and diversify your media portfolio. Try to get a sprinkling from across the spectrum. Think of the various voices as the biased lawyers in the courtroom of your mind. Watching their ideas clash will help you, the juror, get closer to the truth.

Social media platforms encourage us to make “friends,” and reward us for posting regularly and creating as much content as we can spew out. They make a commodity out of human interaction, and can amplify controversial topics that encourage bad behavior. When strangers share real stories about their lives, maybe one of the least intrusive things to do is not offer advice or platitudes, but to quietly lurk and listen. Even when I have something nice to say, I’d rather not say anything at all.
