I tweeted this thread back in October & here are the analytics I just took a look at, which suggest that it didn't make much of an impact.
These words are from a song, The Boxer, by Paul Simon:

🎶A man hears what he wants to hear & disregards the rest🎶

Humans have a fatal capacity for ignoring what they don't want to know.

How to explain this in evolutionary terms?

Whatever team Paul Simon is on, consider me an in kind member.

His haunting & magical performances tonight on #SNL were needed & inspiring.

To the haters, get some empathy (humanity) and a life while you're in the checkout line.

There are different kinds of perfect.

Tina may not have the same moves she did at 50.

Billie Jean King might not have the same swing she did at 30.

And Paul Simon may not have the same range.

But you what? When they had it they had like no one before or since. Be grateful you lived to witness such greatness.

At 77 Paul Simon has earned the right to sing with whatever voice the gods have seen fit to leave him with, and I am quite certain, for the vast majority reading this tweet, even now his abilities far, far eclipse what you will ever be able to do.
