How not to mix them up in a world full of casual brushes with the truth – uncaring as to what is real and what is not. In principle it has always been the same for some of the population. Now, however, we have reached critical mass.
Each uncaring and unthinking person has access to weapons of war. A tweet ricochets off another tweet and spins off into another social media platform. Like a pinball machine full of pinballs, the machine gets hot and melts down.
Anger, frustration, good old-fashioned annoyance – they have nowhere they want to go except deeper into the furnace.
And the furnace spits them out. It doesn’t need them except as examples of persons.
It doesn’t care about them except for whatever trace they leave behind in the social weave.
If they all disappeared tomorrow, their loss would be calculated in loss of engagement, followers, likes, and shares.
