There's an article in the New Yorker about a tribe in Brazil that
communicates in whistles and sounds that don't sound anything like any
language in the world. They have no vowels, no consonants. But, they stay
100% in the moment, never think about tomorrow, have no concept of left and
right, of history, of even yesterday, and they are in absolute harmony with
their world (they can't even imagine why you would want to kill a mosquito),
and with each other. They don't live in houses, don't stock up on
food, 'more' doesn't exist for them,and they are extremely, extremely happy
and content. Even the pictures of them show such serenity on their faces.
They're almost like cats at their finest, without the predation, or maybe
like whales. I bring this up only because if twitter helps keep people
continually in the moment, it might help in reducing greed and increasing
contentment, which would be a big deal.
