## What Jamie wrote

There is a lot of stuff out there to be anxious about. I like Seth Godin's read on thinking about calm too.

> And Twitter? Twitter has been engineered to maximize panic. **Calm is penalized, panic is amplified.** And if you are hanging out in real life with people who spend a lot of time on social media and news sites, you’ve invited all of those people into your circle as well.

The emphasis is mine. It made me think about what activities I am engaging in each day, and how they fall on that calm v. panic scale.
