awindowFri, Apr 4, 2008 Thanks Sjef. More than anything I really understand where your frustration comes from.
Add near instant communication to the mix and you a have large number of people devoting a large amount of time to swapping what essentially amounts to nothing.
Couldn't agree with this more in many ways. Especially in terms of writing and music. I just think it may be possible to remedy, and that sometimes it's those small moments that cause avalanches. Space Collective seems to be a bit of an exception in this regard. I would like to examine more of why this is happening on such a large scale in other places, what it accomplishes, and why there is such a large interest in essentially saying nothing. I did sort of touch on it a bit in another post, but it'd be a good discussion to continue I think.
The 50's and 60's was really a turning point for what became the latter half of the twentieth century. It's influence is still present going further into the twenty first. It's interesting how it much it came to define us and worth exploring in more depth. As well as the question as whether we should break completely from this history, or realistically grasp what it meant and then move on.
