Are you ready to think deep thoughts? Clear your mind. Find some space. Maybe delete some unimportant stuff like family birthdays and what your cat looks like, because we need to make way for a whole new mental mess.
If you’re looking for deep thoughts, there’s no better place to start than Twitter, the home of depth and nuance that no other platform can come close to.
Here are a few things that these tweets inspired me to think about more deeply.
10. The nature of sleep
Perhaps in a few generations, evolution will do this for us.
Instead of sleep, the human body should survive on 7-10 hours of dissociative phone time

9. Anatomical nomenclature
They’re yours, you call them whatever you’d like.
just started referring to my ovaries as “my nuts” and I feel better already

8. The nature of joy
It’s not about getting what you want, it’s about finding satisfaction in what you have.

7. The emptiness of space
What is the big void hiding from us?

6. The nature of aging
She probably figured back then that you were too young to retain it.

5. Self caring, self scaring
That’s what my brain does to me all the time, it’s called anxiety.

4. Identity
It is important to know thyself.

3. Chaos and order
Enter there only those ready to lose all sanity.
My life is almost as chaotic as the zara website.

2. Procrastination
Even the laptop would rather be in sleep mode.
“I’ll just wake up early tomorrow morning and finish this.”

1. Pain and pleasure
A sort of literary masochism, if you will.
reading for pleasure implies the existence of reading for pain

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go register some domain names and stuff so I can use Literary Masochism as my new band name.
What’s a deep or not so deep thought that you’ve had lately?
Enlighten us with it in the comments.
