I enjoy your philosophizing, so I give it a vote. Not because I'm going to "get" anything for that, but because it's deserved, according my own possibly arbitrary sense of values and morality... which I have zero expectations anyone else should give a rat's rear end about.

At one point, I had a blog called "The Jaded Idealist." It died because some schmoe who probably wanted to buy a 90-foot yacht decided to put the domain behind some paywall and I just went "Yeah... whatever."

Some people rail against the system; some follow blindly like sheep... I've always tried to just understand the system, and then try to use the tools it gives me to change it from within, sometimes through sheer stubbornness.

Humans are so weird, and want so many different things. I still feel it's a small miracle that we all (more or less) stop at STOP signs.

Soundbytes... yes.

In our increasingly ADHD-ish and information overload society, that's all you GET.
