How twitter may help to think ?

Loïc Lemeur posted an interesting point of view about twitter. It the great tradition of the lists of the blogosphere, he gives the 10 reasons why he is following 10K people on twitter. Loïc Lemeur, as Robert Scobble or Jason Calacanis is an "Über User" of the Internet. As it, he is stressed by the forces of the Internet, and that make easier to highlight mechanisms which exist at everyone. Whereas one expected that he is submerged by his 10K, he gives a very positive view of his situation

Point 3 seems very important to me

3- I love watching the updates of 10 000 people that have related to me in anyway, when I have "free" time, it's just watching, being curious about them and I love to discover new people this way.Loïc Lemeur

Effectively, look at the torrent of the twitts is fascinating. Everybody can realize it with Twitter Elections or Twittervision. It is not limited to twitter : we have the same fascination with the tools of the Digg Labs. The pleasure felt is that to see the things changing all having or not the possibility of intervening. We feel the same pleasure when we contemplate le wind in a corn field or the the undertow of the waves. The pleasure come from that what we look at make it possible to figure our inner and deep movements, more of less concious, more or less psychics : torrents of blood which precipitate in the cardiac pump, intestinal transit time, fast activations and desactivation of the neuronal chains, modifications of the concious and unconcious investments for exemple

There is another source a pleasure. It is due to the imaginary position of impassioned. The model is that of passion in love

4- I would like to learn more about them, in these 10 000 people I bet there are many I would love to have dinner with because we have many interests in common and I probably don't know about them Loïc Lemeur (my emphasis)

To be able to have dinner with so many people, one undoubtedly needs an appetite of ogre

This passion for each follow, the desire to learn more aboute them, individually, and to avec with each of them a priviligiate relation brings to another imaginary position. We all lived such a passion. It is the passion wich a mother feels for her child, and reciprocally, the passion of each child for his mother, exploring his face to decipher her emotions. For each children, a mother is first perceived as beeing able to see deeply inside him. What he thinks, he believes, is directly perceived by his mother *. So, her statute of good enough mother is never definitively acquired : such a mighty person could use its powers against him, explore his psyché, destroy its contents or plunder what it has of more invaluable. Why wouldn't she have not such desires then that it can recognize them at his place ? Numeric worlds, because they give us the feeling to conect directly the one with the others, expose us to such fantaisies

from where the precautions :

"it is not spam... It is not intrusive. Loïc Lemeur

We are all like Loïc Lemeur. Sometimes we are as children who look at the hurly-burly or the numeric worlds : up and dowload rates on a P2P software, loading of the mail, succession of the twitts. Plunged in the spectacle of the infinite changes ** that numerical worlds offer us, we find visualizations that help us to represent the changes we feel in us; sometimes we are like mothers, plunging our glance in our small world of children, with more or less of benevolence.

* The discovery that he can lie and without the parents realize anything is always an big event a favorable evolution in the development of the child.

** Infinite transformability is one of the caracteristic of what french psychoanalyst René Roussillon call "malleable medium "
