 Your tweets and xeets and notes are reflections of yourself talking to yourself. It’s pretty wild when you see it. And when we engage with other peoples reflections talking to themselves we are engaging in what we think is also ourselves or in what is trying to muddy how we see our reflections. Incredible. Must be some sort of physical mechanics happening. For each action… etc. Hard for our monkey brains to comprehend. Also occurs in “meat” space when we speak and look to see our reflection in our listeners responses. It’s harder though in meat space reality. Easier in digital social media. Thus the addiction. Lol 😅
