Speed kills
An aphorism ingrained in our minds. This week, the news agenda gained momentum through tabloid media narratives, fueling debates on Twitter. From the Holly and Phil estrangement to the King receiving honey from David Beckham, the cacophony of chatter drowned out something profound: ideas and insight.
Each incident triggered angst, echoing the diverse passions of the Twitterati—a formless debate reflecting disapproval. We gain little from this commotion.
Amidst this chaotic landscape, the relentless pursuit of Meghan Markle by the paparazzi is another example of social media neglecting serious issues. It overshadowed more significant matters that deserve attention, highlighting the prioritization of sensationalism over substance.
The crowd should voice opinions openly and engage in honest debates, but Twitter is currently unfit for this purpose. It has devolved into a platform where grandiose individuals seek admiration. As Kurt Cobain once said, “I don’t care what you think unless it is about me.”
Having a point of view is distinct from being right. No one is infallible. But try explaining that to self-proclaimed opinion influencers.
Twitter Blue has enabled individuals to break free from character limits, fostering an environment where future imbeciles will thrive.
Objective reasoning and humility are incompatible on Twitter. We’re bombarded daily with worthless knowledge and pseudo-events, hindering meaningful dialogue. Twitter has become a space where flawed values prevail.
Trusted sources and meaningful opinions are being phased out by Twitter, jeopardizing intelligent discourse. It was once a platform that inspired people with innovative ideas, but now its brevity needs to be more balanced with the daily debate.
Twitter Blue lowers the bar for those seeking recognition while silencing potential difference-makers. Brilliant intellects struggle to be heard, drowned out by breaking news moments. We’ve embraced instant gratification and soundbites.
These social sewers are clogged with effluent. Twitter emits a stench worse than the medieval streets of London. Commentators and influencers fixate on uninformed babble from new-age notables. An over-opinionated crowd reduces legitimate debate to mindless drivel.
We must prioritize humanity over clickbait and engage in meaningful discourse on the issues shaping our world. The future needs leaders who can decipher a vulnerable mob susceptible to charismatic demagogues.
