Twitter (and social media in general) is a social drug: the crack of collaboration. It has gamified and commodified the very essence of human consciousness - social interaction. It is a slot machine of validation. We can be isolated from our neighbors and family but duped into feeling socially integrated due to social media. Paradoxically, one can physically see 3 people in their day yet interact with thousands ethereally. It can make one feel he is well-integrated when in reality he lives in social isolation. Any social interaction that has no basis in physicality is only half of a social interaction, for I cannot discern much about one's character behind well-thought out Tweets and profile pictures. Everyone who searches for online validation carefully crafts their online persona in order to represent an ideal or a social archetype (there is always a grain of truth, but nevertheless, it is always curated towards algorithmic gain). Greater is the man who pays no heed to such validation. If he truly cares not for it, then he may continue his work safely. Any following this man garners is a divine mandate. Otherwise, he is a trickster, crafting a meticulous illusion that blinds himself and his audience. One should plant their feet firmly in the world and their neighboring society, for online social interactions are implicitly illusory, while those who you know in your real life live, breath, struggle, and celebrate with the reality of who you are. As we know, nobody can exist without their bodies. Likes and retweets are a poor substitution for hand shakes, high-fives, hugs, and words of affirmation - and this is exactly what social media has commodified.
