If Twitter is the closest thing to a global consciousness we are all doomed as a species.
How can someone even claim this? Twitter is a cesspool, I thought people on Twitter knew this. But apparently not.
That being said, it is @jack who is saying this. So I'd take it with a massive tablespoon of salt.
- jfengel 4y agoIf Twitter is a consciousness, then it's one that's all "id": the instinctual component of personality that is present at birth, and is the source of bodily needs and wants, emotional impulses and desires, especially aggression and the libido (sex drive). It doesn't have even a shadow of "superego" to put in charge of moderating its wants and desires. It's an infant -- an infant that is never going to grow up. If it's a "global consciousness", then it's a consciousness of an entity I do not wish to ever meet. It's a terrible person, and it's only getting worse.
