I really hate this. I grade myself a C on spontaneous insight, but an A+ on insight after multiple rounds of editing alternated with multiple rounds of defense from the nitpicking of smart friends.

It makes you not want to venture anything online, or at least anything with your name attached to it. I have a deep fear that something dumb but pithy I've said will become a flag for morons long after I realized that I was completely wrong.

Same. I have a lot of ideas, a reasonably effective filter in the days time frame, and not much filter at the moment the idea pops up. I don’t post much and never where I expect many people will see it. I try mostly to agree with things I find true and important or fill factual data where I have the energy. (I posted answers to a lot of COVID questions on Twitter. Doubtful it had much effect but whatever.
