Psychology says people who use social media but never post about themselves have separated the value of staying informed from the cost of participating in the performance - and that quiet withdrawal isn't disinterest or insecurity, it's one of the most deliberate digital choices a person can make in an era that treats visibility as currency - Silicon Canals

3 weeks agoPsychology suggests people who browse social media but never post or comment aren't passive - they've simply opted out of the performance while retaining access to the information, which is a more deliberate choice than most people who post every day have ever thought to make - Silicon Canals
Deliberate non-participation on social media can be a psychologically aware choice, as most users are 'lurkers' who consume content without engaging.

11 hours agoSome people don't stay quiet in arguments because they're calm, they stay quiet because they ran the math years ago and concluded that saying the thing costs more than swallowing it, and they've been paying the cheaper price so long they forgot it was a choice - Silicon Canals
Silence in arguments often results from an automatic cost-benefit analysis rather than emotional mastery or composure.

3 days agoThe people who are constantly checking in on everyone else aren't necessarily nurturing. Many of them are quietly running an experiment to see if anyone will ever check in on them unprompted, and the experiment has been returning the same result for decades - Silicon Canals
Constantly reaching out to others can stem from childhood experiences of needing to earn attention.

4 days agoPsychology says the most reliable signs someone is actually not a good person are almost never the obvious ones - they're buried inside behaviors that look generous, caring, and selfless on the surface, and the reason good people keep getting hurt by them is that their instincts were right all along but the disguise was better than their confidence in their own judgment - Silicon Canals
Harmful individuals often disguise their manipulative behavior as kindness, making it difficult to recognize their true intentions.

6 days agoThere's a specific kind of person who volunteers the embarrassing story about themselves before anyone else can bring it up, and it isn't self-deprecation. It's copyright. If they tell it first, they get to decide what it means. - Silicon Canals
Claiming the narrative of an embarrassing story prevents others from defining its meaning, rather than demonstrating humility.

6 days agoThe people who say they don't care what others think are almost never telling the whole truth. What they actually did was move the audience inward, and now they perform for a private version of the same judges they claim to have escaped. - Silicon Canals
Indifference to others' opinions often masks internalized judgment rather than true freedom from social conformity.

2 months agoAnonymity and the Erosion of Kindness
Throughout the year, we all have particular events that mark the passage of time. Birthdays, holidays, special events. As professors, we have a few unique days too: some fun, some not. There's the first day of classes, where we still (20+ years in) get the jitters. The last day of classes, when we are often just as, if not more excited, than the students. And then there is the day our course evaluations arrive.

When presence becomes participation Ring's Search Party feature queries nearby cameras when a missing pet is reported. As Senator Ed Markey observed, this closely resembles neighbourhood-scale surveillance infrastructure. Crucially, Search Party does not operate in isolation. Ring's Familiar Faces feature applies facial recognition to anyone passing within camera range, continuously scanning and categorising faces without their explicit knowledge or agreement.
