Your observations here are very similar to Venkatesh Rao's blog post on "Return of the Barbarian". He has a terrible way of redefining words to suit his own meanings for whatever narrative he is on at that moment, but I was reminded of that post through out my reading of this reply. P.S: Both of you agree on one thing: As I recall, "I don't know how to turn this into anything actionable, but it's an interesting observation." was his conclusion as well :-D!
