The problem with Twitter, X, or whatever moniker it chooses in the future, remains the same. Birdsong is lovely, but human beings twittering turns many of them into twits..........

They want to weigh in, say something..........but in truth, they have little to say, and no time to think of something that might be meaningful.

Our loneliness might be part of the problem. Or episodic consciousness is also a handicap. The fact that its been years since we actually read through an entire article doesn't help either.

But the result: That most twitters say nothing substantive.......blame games, outrage, absolute agreement with the non thought voiced by another twit. I'm directed to twitter ocassionally by other feeds.......but can't stay long.

Twitter is boring, repetitive, often without content. Boycotting it would be the most effective strategy. Read a book or watch a documentary instead. Respond to thoughtful articles like this one. Join a political party and start having face to face twitter fests with your neighbours.

There's more fun, challenge and intellectual stimulation in that Twitter is for twits.......and X? Does it not mark the scene of the crime???
