Pastor worship. Politician worship. Celebrity worship. Any human being worship. Same behavior, different faces.
More importantly, no one is above being a worshipper.
The West, or perhaps only the Anglosphere, is the historically unique idea that individuals exist not for the sake of their ruler, their class, their society, their ancestors, their gods, or any other such superstition, but for their own sake.

Coastal Road: The Project Must Follow Its Original Design - Ambakedrima
The road must retain its original alignment and extend to Calabar, passing through all the states in the South-South geopolitical zone. There should be no diversion or renegotiation. We stand by this position because we understand the benefits the project will bring to our people. The South-South Reawakening Group and the wider Niger Delta remain firm in their position that the road must be completed as planned.

I don't see any matter of concern with the group. If there's no crime committed, it is freedom of association and we should live with it.
It's not every behaviour that you approve of. It doesn't make it something to be "addressed".
Unlikely there is an actual human in this tweet, I think it is bots talking to bots. Fascinating, information warfare might be something that the next generation would learn (after a disaster), you could cripple a county or nation-state by making them believe absurdities.
random thought: the desire to learn (compress information and generate new knowledge) is the biggest difference between living and non-living things. when the universe generate environments where learnable patterns exist and there's a reward for learning them, life begins.
Charlie Munger was once asked if he drank alcohol…
“Why would I take money out of my pocket to put something in my body that makes my head work less well?”
What’s your favorite Mungerism?
@segun_os_ When you stare into the abyss it stares back.
To deeply ponder the laws of the universe with enough mental machinery to actually understand it is to be a hop, skip and a step away from madness.
Eccentricity is to be expected tbh.
Cell phone addiction is an absolute thermonuke to the brain and nobody 'takes it seriously' because it is not clear that there is any solution in a world where the revealed preference of everyone across the globe, regardless of income, race, age, any factor whatsoever, would rather be on their phone than do *anything* else. Deciding "I use this too much" and meaningfully altering one's behaviour doesn't seem to have much success for any of the very small minority of people with the sentience or self-reflection to realize how bad it is. Most people seem to think of it as an unproductive habit at most, rather than an addiction. Any attempt to speak seriously about this is met with derision, accusations of pretentiousness. There is no real solution to it. The future of human cognition fifty years down the line is horrifying if you stop and think about it for even a moment.
