Read on Twitter
Thanks for participating in my two-day, 14-question Twitter Poll. Nearly everyone who answered did so within 12 hours. Thanks for this enthusiasm.
What follows is a thread of my Reflections on the statistics of who you are.
What follows is a thread of my Reflections on the statistics of who you are.
Reflections on the statistics of my followers:
Most of you are half my age or less. More significantly, only 3.5% of my followers are my age or older. That’s half of who in that age group uses Twitter.
I wish I knew what any of that means.

As expected, 90% of my followers live in the northern hemisphere — ‘cause that’s where most of the land is.

Consistent with all users of Twitter, there’s a nearly equal split between City living and the Suburbs, with one in seven of you living in Rural zones - where night skies are filled with stars.

Sixty percent of you are fluent in the Metric System. Wow. Either Americans are successfully inching in that direction, or most of my following is International.

67% of my followers self-identify as having “Light” skin, and 1% with “Dark” skin, which simply tells me I am badly under-represented in Africa.

Reflections on the statistics of my followers:
Domestically & especially Internationally, more Men use Twitter than Women. Maybe Twitter breeds over-talkers, best suiting male modes of interaction. In any case, my followers are 78% Male 20% Female. With 1% Non-binary.

43% of you know only one Language. I am among you, but only if you don’t count the computer languages I know. And congrats to the 7% who know four or more languages. That’s badass in every way.

One in four of you have visited only one, or no other countries in your life. In my experience, it’s always good to do all you can to see how others live — lest you think your way of life is the only way of life.

Reflections on the statistics of my followers:
One fourth of you identify as politically Centrist with more than half identifying as Liberal. So the Conservative voices that arise in my threads, though ardent, are a small minority of all followers.

More than 80% of you are non-religious. But one in 14 (7%) identify as having religion as a way of life. You follow me knowing that not all of my content resonates with your views. Thank you for coming along for the ride.

Reflections on the statistics of my followers:
7% of you are Vegan/Vegetarian, which is close to the 8% of you in the world’s population. Meanwhile, nearly 90% are omnivores, I among you. Although lately I consume dead animals no more than about two days a week.

Nearly (only?) 400 out of 185,000 respondents have been hospitalized for COVID-19. Of course we don’t know how many have died. But for all others, please continue to stay smart, stay healthy, and heed the advice medial professionals

A third of you (still) want Pluto to be a planet. But it’s not. So get over it.
