    this is one of the more introspective analyses i've seen on this subject. i think one thing that we're coming to see about the online world is the high level of polarization of opinion that is partially driven through fragmentation of online space. watching all this play out is kind of exciting in one way, because you can actually feel that something is being parsed through, that the technology and the culture are interfacing with each other and slowly co-evolving. but at the same time, the same technologies that give us wikileaks, or even wikipedia, gives us fox news and ogrish.com. we need to accept and integrate our culture's shadow side. no-one is pure. we are animals with reptilian fore-brains and the fact is, we're moody, we're lazy, and we tend to surround ourselves with echoes of our own opinions. there is still a lot of work to be done, and a lot to think about.
