The true genius of this essay is that it gives to the reader a sense that every controversial idea they believe is indeed correct.
- mwfunk 13y agoThat's what I'm seeing here. Very little discussion on the article, lots of people posting lists of things they feel persecuted for believing, with the implication being that they're sitting there drumming their fingers and waiting to be validated by history. Oh, and other people arguing with them about those things. Hooray for the Internet I guess? :)
- ivanca 13y agoAnd of course there is the meta discussion where they feel superior for analyzing the behavior of the crowd and pretending that discussing random controversial matters is a childish behavior. Hooray for internet I'm sure (not guess).
- ivanca 13y agoNope, every one already had a sense of that because otherwise they wouldn't have them; plus controversial ideas are harder to hold on to.
