See,this is where things're going wrong,the most popular person Twitters shows me as weighing in on the "smell guy's colon" gag, doesn't seem to understand,that it is a gag

Or...she could do(note the suspended account @JoeyKingActress)

#ProblemOfSimplisticPopularity
#TechFog
Issues:
1) she may have been doing a sassy meta-play, the suspended account makes this hard to readily analyse
2) as such, that meta-play, would have fooled others into thinking the original gaggers, were not in fact intentional gaggers
...etc
This is just _one_ Twitter rabbit hole, and if the truth of "smell guy's colon" is so hard to ascertain , what of serious matters, that are genuinely complex in the natural world ?
I'm fine with social media not having "top down" quality control

But @jack 's "blue ticks" , "making prominent the most liked tweets", etc features ... aren't ones that afford the opportunity of an emergently self regulating system
Silicon Valley, are a bunch of simplistic engineers, who lucked out 10+ yrs ago... yesterday's success

They've created an artifice that doesn't reflect the rich complexity of humanity & the natural world
The media fêted them, even though, the "Founders" never understood what they were getting into

This created a Messianic hubris amongst a small few dozen, who now won't give up _any_ control
The "Founders" don't even grasp the problem:

An extreme zeal that "The Valley" can turn its back on the past few hundred years of human enlightenment

The "Founders" have not in fact achieved consilience of all the knowledge disciplines - yet they steer the ship ?
