Quasi serious question about blocking

All kidding aside, blocking is a curious pattern.

In life, we can’t block people. If someone is so abrasive, we find ways to avoid them. But it’s impossible to avoid aunt Sally at Thanksgiving.

Blocking on Twitter has literally been in the news for the last couple of years, mostly in the orbit around the President, but certainly he wasn’t the only one.

Is blocking making us dumber? Shouldn’t we do a better job at being able to either deal with nuisances or hold the real trouble makers accountable?

Of course you can avoid Sally. You either dont go to dinner or perfect the art of tuning her out. Completely. Like she doesn’t exist
