You concluding that I was blaming the Internet in obliviousness to all the rest of the points you shared (which I already know but deemed out of scope for my specific complaint) is, in itself, a misinterpretation. That you then built upon that misinterpretation to call my position naive is a very interesting comment in light of what I'm saying.
Before computing, I was a journalist. Nothing you said is news to me, though you used some epistemological concepts to make a similar point to my own.
- md224 13y agoSorry if the suggestion of naivety came across too harshly; didn't mean to imply you didn't know what you were talking about. I just find this topic really interesting (competing narratives, the Lippmann-Dewey debate, etc.), so I jumped at the opportunity to ramble about it. Again, my apologies.
- jsmthrowaway 13y agoNo worries. I'm not offended, I just noticed the interesting irony. I learned long ago to not be offended by things people say on the Internet, along with my ability to stomach images that would probably make anybody else pass out. I'm not convinced all of the Internet's effects on me as a human are good.
