Touching a screen isn’t the same as touching a person.

 

The best stuff happens outside the web. Outside is new and frightening, not comfortable. Encountering pain helps transform your vision of yourself and forces you to grow.

 

And there is very little that is new and frightening on the web. The biggest realizations happen when you are in free-fall, not when you have a safety net.
