Grave New World

TWITTER-IPO/

Expressions of mindspeak. Denials and unfortunate

indiscretions. Anonymity. Exposure. Context.

There was a time when private opinions remained

that way. When those in trust were known to

speak vicariously for those unable to speak for

themselves in public. Private conversations meant

for private ears. Not to be divulged. One's Janus

countenance merely glimpsed. Trust and belief

secured in the public realm remained that way.

Sudden outbursts of heedless exposure illuminating

character out of character. Visceral reactions

leading to forbidden statements the road to actual

perdition. That was then. This is now when acute

online sleuthing reveals all radiating from the dark

web directly to social media where legacy media

inherits and displays all the foibles and misdemeanours

of careless commitments; the oblivious become odious

for there is no cave of mind deep and dark enough

to shield reality from emerging to the light of

discovery. A new bible of social illiteracy revealed.
