Reading Emerson's book, which reveals a man of original thought--even if I don't agree with all he thinks--and this article "Information technology amplifies irrational group behaviour" makes me wonder if our technological society isn't stamping out original thinkers. Can this be good for humanity, for its literature and science, if we only read/see/think like everyone else?
Sometimes it feels like society is becoming ever more a TV talk show where everyone agrees with the lovely host bully on who to beat up verbally.
APB-SAL is a blog about education, science, science education, fiction, science fiction, literature, literary stories, poetry, and anything else that strikes the blogger's fancy. NOTE: This blog interrogates art. It rarely make moral proclamations. For that attend the church or politician of your choice. This blog concerns aesthetics, not propaganda. Consider this as interviews with books where the interviewer presents interviewees, so you get what you need to do your own thinking.
