All right, we're live.

So the real point of quitting Twitter is to shame those who are still on Twitter so they

know I'm better than them.

Matt, we're live.

Crap.

Hi everybody, welcome to Pines with Aquinas.

I've been speaking about getting off Twitter for a while and I've been discerning and thinking

it through and I've decided that today is the day.

The reason I wanted to stream this deletion of Twitter is to encourage you.

If Twitter is getting in the way of your spiritual growth or even just your bare bones happiness,

you might consider doing this along with me.

I'm not saying that people can't use Twitter appropriately.

I'm just saying for many people it seems to be, including myself, a very hard thing to

do, which is the reason I'm excited to delete Twitter.

So yeah.

Me and Trent Horn had a conversation recently about different types of social media and

he had a really interesting insight as he often does that the more a social media forces

us to truncate the message we're putting out, the more problematic it is.

I think that's a good point that people go on Twitter and they try to make these cases

that are often politically or morally charged but they only get, is it 240 characters?

And then yeah.

And it's just, it's like humility really goes viral so people are snarky and slam dunk
