“Too many people know too much about each other”. Whoomp, there it is. Wow.
As for the point about electrical circuitry being an extension of the central nervous system: I heard a great description on a podcast recently of how we now "all have an emotion-inducing device which we carry around with us the whole time". It made me realise how I'd misread social media, Twitter in particular, as being an *information-providing* system. It is and has been that, but it's also (and often more importantly) an *emotion-inducing* system. This is something I've only fully appreciated rather too late – with a consequent toll on my mental health that is far greater than I'd realised. (And that, children, is how I came to delete my Twitter in November.)

Wow those words from the past ring true.
Right?
