We're not really that important

On social media we're cultivating a belief system than is unsupportable, a system in which we've come to believe our opinions  matter in every situation and context and the exercise of our free speech is important and shouldn't be curbed or restrained in any way.

We insert ourselves into conversations that really have nothing to do with us, and act as though all opinions are of equal value, when that is rarely the case. We opine at length on topics we have very little information on, make judgments, and broadcast them to the world. 

It's wrong, and it's a trend that needs to stop.
