Seinfeld said that driving is being “inside and outside, moving and completely still.” It’s the same way with social media – you’re in your head and yet ‘out there’ at the same time.

There are certain things in this world that are at once
intensely loved and intensely hated.
They are naturally things of a strong character,

Some hate them so insanely as to deny their very existence . . .
They declare that it shall be nameless, and then never cease to curse its name.

— G.K. Chesterton, “The Polish Ideal,” Illustrated London News, July 2, 1927
