One of the world’s biggest social media stars has publicly declared his hatred for Twitter. Recently, Felix Kjellberg – known online as “PewDiePie” – released a YouTube video in which he explained his contempt for Twitter as a “cesspool of opinion” where even lies and falsehoods get rewarded. Staying true to his word, that very day Kjellberg deleted his twitter account which, at the time of its deletion, had amassed over 19 million followers.
The great Irish writer James Joyce tried his best to distance himself from his Catholicism, but the Jesuits planted its spirit in his heart and, try as he might, he couldn’t get away from it. In each of his short stories, Joyce created a moment when his main character would come to see something about himself or the world he had not seen before. They were life-altering, eye-opening moments. And what did Joyce end up calling these instances? Why, epiphanies, of course!
