I liked the title, so I started reading, and found not a coherent
essay but a collection of decontextualised, microscopic fragments,
like the muttering of a madman flitting between this and that.
Each fragment, a tantalising morsel, led me along a path searching
desperately for some substance, until I stumbled, apparently without
irony, upon this:
> In this way splintered...we’re talking about the American
mind...splintered, & disintegrated, it is desperate for something
however irrational to which to cling.
Then I realised it's a collection of posts from "Twitter", the enemy
of rational discourse.

Seldom has a point been better made by its form.
