Twitter is going to be like Blockbuster Video – Joe Rogan
Superstar podcaster Joe Rogan predicts that Twitter eventually will become a distant memory and go the way of Blockbuster Video:
Why are you spending so much time complaining about other people all day? I’ll tell you why, because you’re not healthy, That’s right, you’re not doing smart things. If I look at your Twitter timeline and I’m seeing tweets 12 hours a day―you’re a crazy person. You might not realize you’re a crazy person. I think Twitter is going to be like Blockbuster Video. We’re going to look back and say―remember when we used to communicate through Twitter. Like oh my god, it was so toxic. Everybody was so mean.
We’re going to hit some new thing next that’s going to allow people to read each other’s minds or Elon Musk’s neural link which he’s talking about communicating with no words. We’re going to hit that and it’s going to make this seem like nonsense. There’s no empathy in these conversations and that’s the big part of the problem. You don’t see the people and you don’t feel their pain so you could say horrible shit to them.
It’s the vast majority of the way people are communicating. The vast majority of their communication is text messages and tweets and none of it is person to person. These kids are arguing with each other through text because they don’t want to look at each other and talk like human beings. But that’s the only way you develop and grow as a person.
