Comment Post-modernism (Score 2) 103
This piece was very well written, however, like most postmodernist drivel it fails to go anywhere, provide data, or draw any kind of meaningful conclusion.
Online culture? Great! Bring it on!
But what does that have to do with supposed psychic powers? If you want to talk about the visual cortex, write a piece detailing how different personality types configure their window managers.
If you want to write a piece about how (dis)connected we are online, show me some numbers and stats about online time, depression, speed of thought, the way people who type at others all day speak differently, if we shop differently, etc.
I'm not interested in reading the ramblings of some self-proclaimed guru who (along with every other self-proclaimed guru) has suddenly "discovered" that there are a lot of people sharing ideas over electronic networks.
Personally, this is the last post from this author that I'm going to read. Are there any researchers/thinkers/etc who can write articles with some real, verifiable data so we can draw some conclusions and have a discussion? Does anyone know where these resources are on the net?
