Thoughts About Twitter

 1.  Basically, if you feel some anger or ill-feelings about something that someone said.....'mute' the individual.  If you go and spend hours getting all hyped-up....what purpose does it really serve?  

2.  Out of every dozen things that you typically read on Twitter....one comment will be witty and clever....five or six will be somewhat thoughtful, and the rest will be garbage-talk that some immature adult threw together in 60 seconds.

3.  Prior to Elon, there were probably two-hundred topics that moderators would cross out or terminate your account upon.  Presently....zero.  It's not something that I'd regard today....as the end of the world, or leading to massive chaos.

4.  It just looks like that 50-percent of the manpower....wasn't really needed, and begs the question....how did they keep expanding.....with no real defined work-load?  

5.  For all those folks that walked out....fired, then bad-mouthing Elon Musk.....they are basically saying they wanted less management and less supervision.  They also showed that they can only work for certain people.  

6.  Twitter being a magnet for fake-news?  It's always been a magnet, and even with Elon's work....it'll still be a magnet.  But generally, people have some BS-meter in their mind, and as time advances.....get wiser about propaganda.

7.  Finally, this level of portraying Twitter as a demon (under Elon).....lays out this crazy discussion....can people handle rational discussion or disagreeable topics?  

A lot of baseball freaks want to openly discuss the DH-rule....in place since 1973.  Some still want it gone.  Some folks want to openly discuss fatty food being sold at McDonalds or Burger King....with the idea that it can be ceased.  Some folks want to discuss climate change, global cooling and global warming.  

I don't have a problem with a open handed discussion....at least being agreeable that talk doesn't destroy society or culture.  If you reach the point where censorship is the only way ahead.....we have a serious problem.

Ten Bits of Advice

 1.  If you won't engage upon conversation or debate, or offer honest counter-chat....making the only fix to problems or society, then you are left with only two tools....either silence your 'friend' or censor him.

It's childish behavior, but thats the modern world we live in.

2. FTX (the crypto currency) relied upon believers....to see value in 'nothing' (literally nothing).  For some reason, they had no problem in selling this belief.

3.  We've reached some stage that if you uttered the word 'whore'....someone would ask for it to be defined, and the party uttering the word would have a hard time defining it in a way to make the question-guy understand the word.  The same problem probably exists for 'slut', 'hussy', and 'harlot'.  

4.  If you ever wake up in the middle of the night, with a uninvited guest in the house....wearing just underwear....then you call the cops.....meeting them at the door (that you opened)....don't walk back toward the guest if they are holding a hammer.

5.  If you paid half-a-million to some university, for them to accept your dim-witted son or daughter....getting them a degree at the end....don't go expecting a lot out of your kid later in life.

6.  The realistic expectation for a 70-to-80 year old guy....on heavy concentrated work....is probably no more than three hours a day.  Once you push them past that point....they get loose with facts and figures.....remembering less and less.

7.  Without risk, there are no rewards worth discussing.

8.  People that use round numbers in their 'chatter'.....probably are wrong more times than they are right.

9.  If you are continually dragged into arguments with people....is there any useful results?  If not....just don't engage.

10.  There are probably ten times the number of people walking around today, compared to 1976.....saying they are bullied or serving as victims.  These people need to reflect upon who they are and how they got into such a lousy state of mind.
