Randomly 3: just fell into a chat on Twitter about ethical data. Several people pop in. Two other threads spring up. Busy, lively, quick.

Twitter has my network at capacity, but still I really find myself missing the space to think that this offers.

(@cogdog @mahabali @Patlockley @pdehaye in that one and here -- Venn diagram)

@katebowles all the world's a stage and we are merely players. However, dear Bill, sometimes we wear borrowed robes, and those robes weigh on our shoulders but also trap our tongues. If I come with a tongue free of weight, I can share a purer knowledge, one as close as possible to what I know. Sans caveats, Sans noise
@Patlockley What even. You're killing me.
@katebowles you're the one who offered me more characters ;)
@Patlockley I see now what an error this was! (@cogdog)

@cogdog @Patlockley But to recap, over on Twitter you said "i don't think persay it is ideas, more i wonder how much we rely on not "paying it forward", and I didn't quite get this bit.

I think I do sort of get what you mean by "and if i'm not there, then 'views are my own' takes on a new level".

@katebowles when we trade ourselves - how do we offer a bit of ourselves for free - that's the pay it forward reference. And from that, logicallly it is hard to give your identity for free

@Patlockley So it's interesting to be discussing this simultaneously here and on Twitter.

Here I am simply appreciative of the extra characters to think. There, we also have Mike in the conversation.

But you are you, and I am me, either way.

@katebowles i'd say I am not, as twitter me and mastodon me have different publics and so i have different behaviours
@Patlockley @katebowles Me too. different publics and different behaviours. Sorry for jumping in. But an interesting point here.
