What’s the obsession with posting every little thing that comes across your mind into your microblog? What good is sharing half-formed thoughts with the world? Why do people keep microblogs? If your thoughts aren’t still fully formed, isn’t it better to keep them to yourself and work on them? Do people think other people exist to be sullied by their ramblings? Do people feel pressurised to constantly have something to say even if it’s something stupid? Or is this an excuse for expressing yourself since it is no longer fashionable to have an opinion? Is that why whenever people write anything more than a few lines they shed all personality and set their words down like they were writing a scientific article or a bureaucratic report? Is it wrong to express your opinion without quoting data or citing sources?
Do you like Twitter threads? Do you enjoy sifting through Twitter threads?
My dear friends, does your mind control your hands or do your hands control your mind? Which is true for you?
