Agree that reflection and contemplation is important.

Likewise, writing your thoughts out is also powerful and sometimes, being forced to edit your point down to one or two 140 char snippets is not such bad thing either.

Similarly, being exposed to the views of people you would likely never meet in pre-internet/social media times is no bad thing either IMHO.

"Everything in moderation" and "Variety is the spice of life" are aphorisms that persist for a reason.
