 I love the permanence. Own your words. Deeper thoughts. Consideration prior to replies. 
 Most times it's typographical errors though. Not so much misspoken or ill-phrased posts.

 It could also be cool if notes were ephemeral, like the endless present moment that we all coexist in. Permanence is an illusion, and everything created will eventually be destroyed. Change is the only constant, and embracing that notion could enable freer discussion, where we don’t need to be tethered to the ideas we attached ourselves to in the past. 
 I disagree with most of what you said as you’re describing Twitter where free discussion does not happen and debate cannot progress when people take back their words so easily altering the narrative and preventing progress. I do not support 1984 style of deleting the past to control the present. 
 You suffer because you disagree with the fundamental nature of reality. People change, deal with it. 
 Yes, people change. No, I do not disagree with the fundamental nature of reality.
