The difference is that I can’t shut down my own internal monologue/suppress my own internal subagents, and I can just choose to Not Read Twitter and, further, Not Post What People On Twitter Say. Which is what I generally choose to do.
Though the analog here would be whether civilization can Not Read Twitter and Not Post What People On Twitter Say. I think civilization has about as much difficulty with that as you or I do with shutting down our respective internal monologues.
I also agree that I am less able to get out of a negotiation with the part of me that is resistant to physical pain, whereas it seems way more doable to me to have massive positive influence on the world without having to care very much about the details of what people write about you on Twitter.
