The main principle of twitter is the principle of fragmentation. Twitter, in contrast to the published media, any full text or even blogging, is focused on the details -- and not only biographical details, but micro-biographical
"I got up, looked out the window", "drinking beer with my friends", "so i was sitting down and snot ran out of my nose" etc
The idea of breaking down a topic in its sub-topics is basically the essence of twitteringAll these moments which are snached out of context create the effect of new sacred topos, ie, because they are taken out of context of the boring life of the character in question, they acquire the character of a photographic image that can be enjoyed
And since lives of most twitter lemmings is completely meaningless and stupid, as a rule these people are average or below average, ordinary people -- what can an average person say? What he heard from friends, in the movies, television, newspaper, in best case -- read in a book
And yet the combination of these meaningless, scattered bits of information creates a discourse. They are taken out of context and thus begin to live -- to live sacred, immediate, momentary demonic lives, all of this which is the consciousness of freaks who populate twitter, who are already practically posthumans by Nietzsche.
"What is the truth? We found happiness " -- say the last men, and blink with their eyesTwitterers have found happiness by capturing the moment. They lower the world to their own insignificance, and thus cease to be insignificant themselves
