A ll these personal 'bloggers', writers, artists, etc, hosting with whomever, and buying a domain name that sounds 'professional', should remember one thing. The day you stop paying for your domain, for instance, when you drop off the twig, your website is going to go invisible. Blogspotters, for example, you've been told many a time by all those 'pro' sites on the net that you need to get a 'professional' sounding name. Sounds a lot like those times when you had to be white in order to get into a good school in the US. A '.com' sounds professional simply because it was used by news houses and companies first. Just like the rich wearing suits in the west, and all the chimps thereafter thinking that wearing one gives them some semblance of 'respectability', and even reaching psychotic proportions where one is expected to wear it, or a long sleeved shirt and tie, in sweltering climates.

The short answer. Yes. I’ll keep it simple. What are the factors contributing to having more information = knowing less ? 1. The human tendency to pay attention to that which interests us instead of that which doesn’t fall within our sphere of interest. 2. The influx of youngsters into the informational world to get and provide information. 3. The tendency of younger minds to be appealed to that which is immediately gratifying, trivial, sensational, publicised, etc. The discomfort of contradiction can be shunned with a single click of a mouse, and one can bathe in the self-validating mires of similitude. You don’t get wiser this way, just equally dumb. The combination of 1 to 3 mean that people tend to form self-validating enclaves of similarly interested people. Basically, the more i can interact with people of similar interests, the less i’m going to bother about people of dissimilar interests. With the world wide web, people can immediately access similarly minded people. Th...

Not only do people tend to flock to the prominent for information and insight, but it is only there that they afford the content thought enough for comment. I suppose in affording thought for the pronouncements of the prominent, in their subconscious minds, puts them, vicariously, on an equal footing with the prominent since they are thinking along the same lines, be it in support or opposition. The entirety of this situation amounts to two processes of perspectival underdevelopment taking place simultaneously. Firstly, information and insight is sought generally from the prominent and all others are relatively discounted, and secondly, one cogitates only at the foot of the prominent. When this persists long enough, not only is humanity’s vision narrowed down the path set by the prominent few, but their own potentials to be the suppliers of significant and novel thought is itself garroted. But what is unrealised by these people is that whilst the global elite take into consideratio...
