As I read your last point all I can think is, no one owns the earth, why should private companies own the digital space. It's frustrating when you can see the problem but not offer a solution. Mostly because the ideas are many but to execute is a multi decade endeavour. Not to get too serious but we're effectively talking about a problem that effects humanity and we now have a clown running the show. Elon is doing great things with his other companies and maybe he even finds a way to fix Twitter but it doesn't feel like he doesn't it with any sort of grace or humility, it doesn't feel like he shares the problems of humanity given his wealth and status. The disconnect makes it hard to trust him or root for him especially when it's at the expense of others as we can see by his public trolling on twitter. That's right, yes he's a troll. With over 100M followers...


The irony is the fact that I have the time to write this highlights the dangers of idleness.


Hey, shoot the breeze, idleness deserves praise! (https://harpers.org/archive/1932/10/in-praise-of-idleness/)

> we now have a clown running the show

Nah not a clown, not even a Watchmen-esque Comedian.

If anything, he's a very conscious agent of (Capital-C!) Chaos, like the Joker.

Or, again, just another CIA puppet, who knows - dot dot dot :)


Thanks for writing it, though.

Maybe our brains need idle time between intense bouts of thought and flow. And if that bit of writing doesn't contribute to, say, a certain 50k novel challenge for the month, well--now it's really wasted!

Let's go create something today. Or nothing. It's totally up to us.
