This philosopher's work explains Twitter Addiction

This is a video about Twitter and the philosophy of jokes or humor. It deals with the work of Thi Nguyen from the University of Utah, Ted Cohen from the University of Chicago, and the 3rd Earl Lord of Shaftesbury. It makes the point that jokes and tweets both centrally involve high-context speech and run the risk of context shedding or context collapse. Read Nguyen's excellent short article on all of this, "Twitter, the Intimacy Machine" published by The Raven https://ravenmagazine.org/magazine/twitter-the-intimacy-machine/
