One thing Twitter has made me aware of is that when a person always speaks with intense certainty about whatever they're saying, I find that really suspicious and unattractive. Like Twitter naturally does this thing where it compels people to make extremely hyperbolic declarations all day long, but that's not exactly the same as speaking with great force and certitude about whatever gets your attention, as if you always have the supreme answer no matter what the subject is. I mean, it's OK to be dogmatic about SOME things, where it's like a matter of how you value human life or something, but I think if you just never express any level of agnosticism about anything at all, then you're either a know-it-all or a psychopath.
