Scarcity of time -- due to what causes? More people, way more information. more ability to "talk," more complexity.

A way of writing in the age of social media might cater to reduced attention span BUT NOT ONLY THAT

Attention up to now has been influenced by an Enlightenment proclivity to delve in detail into details--what I call for now "field independent" thinking.

As social media gets more people talking together, and a civilization of an intertwined global civilization with an impossible load of information at its behest

We might examine "field dependent" thinking, which is perhaps the field dominated by women and the third world (that sees the whole but less so the details). 

-------------------------------

A great weakness in my communication is to try to get the entire message (as I perceive it) across to people who can't manage and are not prepared to digest it,

(A lot of my thinking process is also flawed.)

I at least now am thinking that communication on Social Media needs to capitalize on incompleteness, at impression and on feeling.

While I might have an elaborate project to recommend, and that I want to be immediately understood and acted on, I might try dishing out a germ of the idea, toward an extended process of idea and concept formation. A little at a time. I know where it should go, even if the followers don't and can't. 

The standards to apply for writing are art standards. Something beautiful must be communicated, and that beauty has to have fairly rigorous standards, despite incompleteness. (a poetic approach maybe)

------------------------------

Sorry if all this is sounds like rubbish, but I don't want to lose the thought and it applies to book project.
