It’s not a Ponzi Scheme if you can’t exit!

When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.

Thanks Mary Claire!

It seems ideas are shrinking, becoming more bite sized and palitable, coming in bursts 140 characters at a time. But where have all the world changing ideas gone? The world is becoming one where everyone can ‘know’ (if they want), but when you can know anything anytime, does that leave room for thinking?

We prefer knowing to thinking because knowing has more immediate value. It keeps us in the loop, keeps us connected to our friends and our cohort. Ideas are too airy, too impractical, too much work for too little reward. Few talk ideas. Everyone talks information, usually personal information. Where are you going? What are you doing? Whom are you seeing? These are today’s big questions.
