Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable « Clay Shirky:
Society doesn’t need newspapers. What we need is journalism.

Hahaha. Like that.

Robert's Stochastic thoughts:
Now, I don't want to ban marketing and adverstising in general.

Don't police my diet.

That's an easy one. There are (at least) two persons inside me: one wants to eat and drink and doesn't care about the consequences the other one cares about the consequences and therefore imposes a diet. Before the diet starts there has been a fight, a fight won by my diet self.

Now in comes yet another person, a real one, you.

You see me sitting in front of a martini and ask:" Aren't you on a diet ?"

What you don't know because you don't see it, is that you have TWO persons in front of you. And it might happen that one of these two persons thinks that you're siding with the other one and gets really angry.

So you better ask your question in a way that makes it clear from the outset that you're siding with the guy who's against dieting. Btw it's not your business anyhow.

Now we know it.
