The Nerd Flavor Of Masculinity

The Network By Itself Is Meaningless. Only The People Were Ever Meaningful.

I Would Argue That Among Musicians Who Work In Technology Today, The Level Of Technological Sophistication Probably Exceeds That Of Military Programs, To Be Blunt. They Are Just Really Smart People Attracted To Making Strange New Sounds.

Individual Web Pages As They First Appeared In The Early 1990s Had The Flavour Of Person-hood. Myspace Preserved Some Of That Flavour, Though A Process Of Regularized Formatting Had Begun. Facebook Went Further, Organizing People Into Multiple-choice Identities While Wikipedia Seeks To Erase Point Of View Entirely. If A Church Or Government Were Doing These Things, It Would Feel Authoritarian, But When Technologists Are The Culprits, We Seem Hip, Fresh, And Inventive. People Accept Ideas Presented In Technological Form That Would Be Abhorrent In Any Other Forms

We Have Repeatedly Demonstrated Our Species's Bottomless Ability To Lower Our Standards To Make Information Technology Look Good.

I Think Seeking Perfection In Human Affairs Is A Perfect Way To Destroy Them.
