Ralph Waldo Emerson explains the motive force behind social media. This is from Robert D. Richardson’s “Emerson: The Mind on Fire”: [Emerson held that] “expression is as basic a human drive as sex: ‘It is a necessity of the human nature that it should express itself outwardly and embody its thought.’ ‘As all creatures are allured to reproduce themselves, so must the thought be imparted in speech.’” #ralphwaldoemerson #socialmedia
